 September Membership Meeting

 

Ecosystems of Costa Rica

 

Presented by Mark Gustafson

 

 Thursday, September 20, 2018

 

7 – 8 pm

In 2015 Texas Lutheran University Dr. Mark Gustafson, professor of biology and director of the environmental studies program, and Dr. Judith Hoffmann, associate professor and social entrepreneurship director, led the trek through the tropical oasis. After months of classes, reading books, writing research papers and compiling packing lists the 20 students boarded their flight to Costa Rica to see first-hand all they read about in their texts.

NPSOT Guadalupe Chapter Presents

Tuesday September 11, 2018, 7:00 PM

Watershed Protection and

Re-Vegetating Geronimo Creek

Presented by Ward Ling

Our watershed must be protected by limiting pollutants, removing invasive plants and wildlife, re-vegetating with natives, and supporting projects like the Irma Lewis Seguin Outdoor Learning Center with its rainwater harvesting, vegetated swales, native grasses, a rain garden, a detention pond, pervious pavement, and educational creek walks.

Our friend Ward Ling is an extension specialist with Texas A&M university, serving as the Geronimo and Alligator Creek Watershed coordinator. He directs the efforts of landowners and local volunteers from NPSOT, Master Naturalists and Master Gardeners. Come and learn more about this essential work, and how we can help, from this devoted expert.
