Why do animals migrate? What makes the monarch\u2019s journey so unique? Who else in the animal kingdom sets out on an annual pilgrimage? Tune in with MJV staff to learn about the ins and outs of migration across the speciescape. In this course, you will learn about what defines a migration and why different animals migrate from season to season. We will also dive deeper into a variety of species and the treks they make as they fly, swim, gallop, and slither across landscapes to find the resources they need for survival. This course will cover the migrations of bats, bugs, birds, and more, before focusing in on the monarch migration in closer detail. Then, we will examine their migratory pathways, overwintering habitat and behavior, and biological processes that make their migration possible.

Online The Texas Star Mushroom, Chorioactis geaster<\/em>, is one of the most distinctive fungi in North America\u2014and the official state mushroom of Texas. Yet despite its fame, we know surprisingly little about where it grows, how common it really is, or what it needs to survive. Chorioactis geaster<\/em> has an unusual history. It is known from only two regions of the world: Japan and the south-central United States. These populations have been separated for more than 19 million years, making the Texas lineage an important piece of fungal evolutionary history. In Texas, the mushroom has traditionally been associated with decaying cedar elm stumps, but it is not yet clear whether cedar elm is truly required or whether this pattern reflects where people have traditionally looked for it. <\/p>\n In this talk, I\u2019ll discuss what we know\u2014and what we still don\u2019t know\u2014about the Texas Star, and how we can use both scientific surveys and citizen science to learn more. Reports and observations from mushroom hunters, naturalists, landowners, and other community scientists can help us build a much broader picture of where this unusual fungus occurs across Texas. By combining these observations with targeted field surveys, we can begin to determine whether the Texas Star is truly rare or simply under-documented, and what that might mean for conserving this remarkable Texas fungus.<\/p>\n Register here:\u00a0Join from Zoom Workplace app – Zoom<\/a><\/p>\n Please use the following AT Code: AT: Online Training; TMN AT Report hours<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Free.

Now, sweeping changes under the Trump Administration are reshaping how the law works.<\/p>\n Join Hardy Kern, Director of Government Relations at American Bird Conservancy, and Dr. Andy Caven, Director of Central Flyway Programs at the International Crane Foundation, for a look at where the ESA stands today and what\u2019s at stake.<\/p>\n Hardy will cover the policy landscape, including the administration\u2019s regulatory changes and the legal challenges now underway. Andy will then focus on a tangible consequence: the rescission of the ESA\u2019s regulatory definition of \u201charm,\u201d which removed habitat destruction as a form of prohibited take. That change undermines the foundation of Habitat Conservation Plans and much of Section 10 of the Act, which have long brought private landowners and industry to the table to protect habitat.

Join BCI and Dark Sky International for a Bat Week webinar in support of dark skies! One of the simplest ways to support all nocturnal wildlife is to reduce, remove, dim, or update your outdoor lighting. Enlighten yourself with this how-to webinar that focuses on how Artificial Light At Night (ALAN) impacts bats and how you can reduce it! Dr. Amanda Adams and Callie Blake will be the speakers.<\/p>\n
Fifty years ago, France built out a nuclear fleet in a decade \u2014 plants that still deliver over 70% of its electricity. Then rising costs, cheap natural gas, and safety concerns stalled nuclear construction across much of the West, while China and Russia kept building.<\/p>\n

He worked for Shell for almost 30 years and designed and was responsible for construction of many of Shell\u2019s offshore deep water oil and gas pipelines in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as Nigeria, Brazil and South East Asia. Since his retirement he has pursued many new challenges, including studying music, learning to sing and play the piano and he also is an active member of the Citizens Climate organization, or CCL for short.

Fundamentals of Pollinator Gardening with Nick Dorian, PhD.
Nick Dorian (nicholasdorian.com) is a leading voice in the pollinator garden movement. As an ecologist and educator, Nick studies the science of pollinators and native plants, and helps people find wonder in the world wherever they live. Nick’s work has been featured in leading academic journals, and in venues like USA Today, CBS News, The Boston Globe, and on the TEDx stage. He coauthored and photographed the first field guide to wild bees (watchingbees.com) and teaches an annual course at Eagle Hill Institute on the topic. He received his PhD in Biology from Tufts University, worked as research fellow at Chicago Botanic Garden, and is currently an Assistant Professor at City College of New York and member of Pollinator Pathways Advisory Board. Despite the popularity of pollinator gardens, best-practice advice can be confusing, overwhelming, and contradictory. In this talk, we\u2019ll demystify the science behind pollinator gardening. We\u2019ll cover the foundational tenets, then dive into areas of recent research on hot topics such as cultivars (and nativars), nesting habitat, and leaving leaves\u2014and what it all means for you and your garden. Whether you are a long-time aficionado or a newcomer curious what the hype is about, this talk offers clear, evidence-based guidance for how to steward a garden that you find beautiful and which also makes a meaningful impact on the natural world.<\/p>\n
Description:<\/b>\u00a0Join us for the Friday evening Keynote at the 2026 Annual Meeting! Rivers connect landscapes, wildlife, landowners, communities, and people\u2014and stewardship works the same way. Join us for an evening sharing stories of resiliency, hope and recovery all centered around Texas\u2019 rivers. From the nexus of landowners, agencies, nonprofits, local leadership involved in stewardship, and the personal journeys of various TMN volunteers participating in flood recovery efforts, to Ben Masters\u2019 new documentary, \u201cDeep in the Heart 2: Texas Rivers\u201d and the protection of our waterways. It will be an evening full of all things Texas rivers and what community-based natural resource stewardship looks like\u2014 and how Texas Master Naturalists are part of that network.<\/p>\n
