Giving Tuesday kicks off the season of giving, so we hope you're feeling excited! We need your help to continue shifting the focus to nature-based solutions to more effectively enhance Texas karst country groundwaters, biodiversity, and long-term resilience.
WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOING
As part of our educational outreach, we've been providing presentations and information to groups across the eastern Hill Country about the benefits of working with mountain cedars (limestone junipers) and using nature-based solutions. It’s a tough sell, but landowners from diverse backgrounds are embracing the message. Following a recent hybrid presentation in Canyon Lake attended by almost 120 members, the event coordinator informed me, “I got so much positive feedback from your presentation, especially from the bigwigs!”
WHY THE OUTREACH IS IMPORTANT
The presentations and information teach landowners there’s a better way to manage karst country and hope for regenerating degraded lands-and it's giving them hope. Conducting these events in person is more effective since it more effectively builds connections and support. The stronger this community becomes the more we’ll be able to convince government agencies to prioritize funding for nature-based solutions.
