SUMMARY:Online - Hill Country Eclipse Lunch & Learn Series - General Q&A
DESCRIPTION:During the last total solar eclipse event in the U.S.\, back in 2017\, many rural communities in its path were overwhelmed by the crowds and the challenges they created for local infrastructure\, emergency services\, lodging and restaurants\, and supermarkets.

These meetings are opportunities for residents\, eclipse enthusiasts\, business owners\, and community leaders to share regional planning updates. The meetings have included presentations by subject matter experts on related topics. \nThe Hill Country Eclipse Lunch and Learn sessions are an opportunity to discuss individual niche topics specific to eclipse planning and preparations. Topics will include everything from accessibility and community preparation to public relations and security. \nThe Eclipse Lunch & Learn Sessions take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month via Zoom from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. CST.\nRegister here for the complete series and attend the sessions at your leisure. Each Lunch and Learn will be recorded and posted to the HCA Eclipse Portal. \nThis session is an open forum opportunity to ask questions\, recommendations on future round table meeting topics\, and subject matter discussions for future Lunch and Learns.

SUMMARY:New Braunfels - The Long Game: Creating lasting conservation in a high growth region - CCCA Community Program
DESCRIPTION:The Long Game: Creating lasting conservation in a high growth region. \nEvent Details:\nTuesday\, September 12th 6-7:30pm\nMcKenna Center \nSpeaker:\nKatherine Romans\nExecutive Director\, Hill Country Alliance \nProgram Description: \nDescription: It is no secret that Comal County and the Hill Country face enormous challenges. Deep drought\, booming population growth\, catastrophic flood\, and limited planning tools all characterize this particularly unique part of the state. And at the same time\, there is an increased awareness of the urgency of changing the way we grow. Business as usual growth threatens to push us past the carrying capacity of the lands and waters of the Hill Country. The time to act is now. \nKatherine will describe the tools and approaches that the Hill Country Alliance and the broader Texas Hill Country Conservation Network are employing to shift the future of this region we call home. She’ll talk about the role each of us can play\, and why what we need more than ever is strong leadership\, consistent grassroots advocacy\, and a shared vision for the Hill Country we want to hand on to future generations of Central Texans. \nClick here to learn more.

SUMMARY:New Braunfels - Small Acreage Big Opportunity - Comal County
DESCRIPTION:The Small Acreage – Big Opportunity (SABO) program is a joint effort of Texas Wildlife Association and Texas A&M AgriLife Extension.\nLandowners who steward small properties face unique management challenges. Most information currently available to landowners focuses on management of large properties. Statewide\, small properties are increasing\, but the owners of these properties may have difficulty scaling down big recommendations to fit a smaller acreage. \nOur intensive half-day workshops will teach landowners how to evaluate their property’s habitat and what options are available for wildlife management\, including cost-share programs. Perhaps most importantly\, we will connect landowners with local professionals who can walk alongside them as they steward and learn their lands. Join us as we paint a more complete picture of land stewardship in Texas by equipping small landowners to make a big impact! \nClick here to register

SUMMARY:Online - Hill Country Eclipse Lunch & Learn Series - Travel and Tourism
DESCRIPTION:During the last total solar eclipse event in the U.S.\, back in 2017\, many rural communities in its path were overwhelmed by the crowds and the challenges they created for local infrastructure\, emergency services\, lodging and restaurants\, and supermarkets. However\, the communities that fared the best were those that started preparing years in advance. On October 14 of this year and April 8 of 2024\, the annular and total solar eclipses will pass through the middle of the Hill Country\, affecting all our communities. \nFor the past two and a half years\, the Hill Country Alliance has been convening quarterly round table meetings of the Hill Country Eclipse Team. These meetings are opportunities for residents\, eclipse enthusiasts\, business owners\, and community leaders to share regional planning updates. The meetings have included presentations by subject matter experts on related topics. \nThe Hill Country Eclipse Lunch and Learn sessions are an opportunity to discuss individual niche topics specific to eclipse planning and preparations. Topics will include everything from accessibility and community preparation to public relations and security. \nThe Eclipse Lunch & Learn Sessions take place on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month via Zoom from 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. CST.\nRegister here for the complete series and attend the sessions at your leisure. Each Lunch and Learn will be recorded and posted to the HCA Eclipse Portal. \nSpencer Zamora\, Tourism Research Specialist for Travel Texas in the Economic Development and Tourism Department of the Office of the Governor\, will be the featured subject matter expert for this Lunch and Learn session on Travel and Tourism.
