Meeting details
The event will discuss the required contents to draft a WPP. These include education and outreach planning and events, implementation of management measures, technical and financial resources, and measuring the success of the WPP.
This is the final meeting prior to drafting the remaining chapters of the WPP and releasing the plan for public comments. There will be an additional meeting in January to address any public comments received on the WPP and to finalize the document for agency review.
“Public input is strongly encouraged,” said Amanda Tague, TWRI research specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Bryan-College Station. “Your voice and involvement are critical to the success of this plan.”
Funding for developing the Davidson Creek WPP is provided by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board through the State Nonpoint Source Grant Program. TWRI is an AgriLife Research unit that combines expertise across The Texas A&M University System.
