The main event will begin Oct. 22 at 1 p.m. and conclude the morning of Oct. 25 at approximately 11 a.m. Pre-event activities will begin Oct. 21.

Annual meeting offers education, networking

Throughout the meeting, participants will have opportunities to learn from experts, exchange ideas and connect with Texas Master Naturalist chapters representing different regions and ecosystems across the state.

Educational seminars and hands-on learning opportunities will allow volunteers to expand their knowledge of natural resource conservation and management, while gaining skills they can take back to their local communities and chapters.

The meeting also serves as an opportunity for Texas Master Naturalist volunteers, program participants and supporters to network and share successful projects, new ideas and experiences from chapters across Texas.

Continuing education units will not be offered for the event. However, eligible sessions may count toward Texas Master Naturalist advanced training hours.
