The Texas Water Resources Institute, TWRI, will host a free Texas Riparian and Stream Ecosystem Education Program on March 5 in Bandera.
The riparian education program is managed by TWRI, part of Texas A&M AgriLife Research, AgriLife Extension and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Texas A&M University.
The workshop is co-hosted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Bandera County River Authority and Groundwater District, Texas Riparian Association and TWRI.
The program will be from 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. for residents interested in land and water stewardship in the Upper Medina River watershed.
The morning session will be at the Bandera Electric Cooperative on 3172 Texas State Highway 16. The afternoon session will include a walk and presentations along the Medina River.
Attendees must RSVP by Feb. 26 at tx.ag/ BanderaSpring24 or by emailing Alexander Neal, TWRI program specialist, Bryan-College Station, at Alexander. Neal@ ag. tamu.edu.
Neal said they can offer the workshop without cost thanks to program funding provided through a Clean Water Act nonpoint source grant from the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The program will include a lunchtime presentation. A catered lunch is being offered for $15 or participants can choose to bring their own lunch.
