SUMMARY:Summer Education Series: Mountain Cedars
DESCRIPTION:Event Date: Saturday\, June 27th\nTime: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM\nLocation: virtually on Google Meet\, or in person at Hornsby Bend Center for Environmental Research\, 2210 FM973\, Austin\, TX 78725 \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE \nFor more than 100 years\, we’ve fought the woody brush spreading across the limestone regions of Texas\, called karst country. Much of this woody cover consists of native juniper trees\, commonly called mountain cedars. Instead of causing harm\, we now know mountain cedars act as ecosystem engineers to improve and sustain Texas karst country function. Come learn about these benefits and what we can do to use mountain cedars as another nature-based solution to help enhance soil health\, groundwaters\, productivity\, property values\, and resilience. \nElizabeth McGreevy\, a sixth-generation Texas and Texas A&M graduate\, is a natural resources ecologist and author of Wanted! Mountain Cedars\, Dead and Alive. The owner of Land Steward\, she relies on more than 25 years of experience to produce ecosystem-based management plans for Hill Country landowners. In 2022\, she founded Project Bedrock\, now in partnership with The Watershed Association\, to promote using mountain cedars and other nature-based solutions to regenerate the limestone karst country regions of Texas. \nThis training is free and open to anyone\, but you must register to attend. If you have any questions or concerns\, please contact Gillian: volunteer@treefolks.org\, (512) 761-8738 cell

SUMMARY:Montopolis Negro School Rehabilitation: The Montopolis Proud and Alumni Focus Group
DESCRIPTION:As part of the community engagement process for the Historic Montopolis Negro School Vision and Interpretive Plan\, the project team is hosting a focus group session with Montopolis Proud members and former students (alumni) of the Montopolis Negro School. This is one of several focused\, small-group conversations designed to gather detailed input from people with a direct\, personal connection to the school’s history. \nParticipants for this session have been personally invited so that the team can listen closely to their memories\, perspectives\, and priorities for the site’s future. Because this is a focused conversation with a specific group\, structured input will be gathered from invited participants. \nMembers of the public are welcome to attend and observe. This is one of many opportunities to be involved: larger community meetings open to all residents will follow\, where everyone will have the chance to share feedback and help shape the vision for the school. We encourage anyone interested in the project to attend those upcoming meetings\, sign up for updates\, and stay engaged throughout the process. \nTo receive notice of future community meetings and project updates\, email ACME
