SUMMARY:Online - Globe at Night Observations - October 2021
DESCRIPTION:Six Easy Star Hunting Steps\n\n 	During the campaign dates\, go outside more than an hour after sunset (8-10 pm local time). The Moon should not be up. Let your eyes become used to the dark for 10 minutes before your first observation.\n 	Use a night sky app on your phone outside to find the constellation from where you are.\n 	Go to the Globe at Night Report page to start to enter Globe at Night measurements. Make sure you are in “Nighttime version”\n 	With a smart phone\, the app will put in the date\, time\, location (latitude/longitude) automatically. Otherwise please type them in. For your location\, type the street address closest to your observation along with the city\, state or province and country.\n 	Choose the star chart that looks most closely to what you see toward your constellation. That is\, what is the faintest star you can see in the sky and find in the chart?\n 	Chose the amount of cloud cover at the time of observation and then click on the “SUBMIT DATA” button.\n\nLearn more here: https://www.globeatnight.org/6-steps.php

SUMMARY:New Braunfels - Riparian & Stream Ecosystems Training
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThis workshop is being co-hosted by the City of New Braunfels\, the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Comal County\, Texas Riparian Association\, and Texas Water Resources Institute. 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. \nThe City of New Braunfels and its project partners are currently moving forward with the implementation of a Watershed Protection Plan (WPP) to address bacteria concerns in the Dry Comal Creek and Comal River watersheds. The current implementation phase began in September 2018 and is working on implementing a variety of strategies to improve water quality in the watershed. The riparian and stream workshop is an educational event supporting this effort. \nThese one-day trainings in watersheds across the state include both indoor classroom presentations and outdoor stream walks. Instructors are experts from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department\, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service\, Texas A&M Forest Service\, Texas A&M Natural Resource Institute\, TRA\, and the Texas Water Resources Institute. \nThe goal is for participants to better understand and relate to riparian and watershed processes\, the benefits that healthy riparian areas provide\, and the tools that can be employed to prevent and/or resolve degradation and improve water quality. At the conclusion of the training\, participants will receive a certificate of completion and appropriate professional development hours/ continuing education hours. \nContinuing Education Units (CEUs) available: \n\nTexas Department of Agriculture Pesticide Applicators License – 3 CEUs\nTexas Water Resources Institute – 1 CEU\nTexas Nutrient Management Planning Specialists – 6 hours\nTexas Floodplain Management Association – 7 CECs\nTexas Forestry Association – 6 hours\nSociety of American Foresters – 4 hours\nCertified Crop Advisor – 7 CEUs (Nutrient Mgmt: 1\, Soil & Water: 1.5\, IPM: 1.5\, Crop Mgmt: 2.5\, Manure Mgmt: 0.5)\nTexas Board of Architectural Examiners “Acceptable for HSW credit”\nThe program may also be used for CEUs for Professional Engineer\nCheck with your Chapter for Master Naturalist and Master Gardener to see if it is approved for your area\n\nRSVP is required by October 26\, 2021.
