This workshop is being co-hosted by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Hill Country Alliance, The Nature Conservancy and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Gillespie County. The training will focus on the nature and function of stream and riparian zones and the benefits and direct impacts from healthy riparian zones. The riparian education programs will cover an introduction to riparian principles, watershed processes, basic hydrology, erosion/deposition principles, and riparian vegetation, as well as potential causes of degradation and possible resulting impairment(s), and available local resources including technical assistance and tools that can be employed to prevent and/or resolve degradation.

RSVP is required by May 12, 2017.

Hill Country Alliance is providing a catered lunch for $10 or participants may bring their own lunch. Attendees can pay for lunch by credit card using this online link bit.ly/2nLUPne or by cash at the door.

Dress is casual and comfortable for the weather as we will be outside at the stream during the afternoon.
