SUMMARY:Junction - Water and Land Stewardship Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, November 11\, at the Coke Stevenson Memorial Center in Junction\, TX to learn more about where your water comes from\, how to manage your land to conserve that water\, and the laws that govern the ground and surface waters of Texas. \nIn recent years the Hill Country’s waters have become threatened by ongoing droughts\, new developments\, and new dams on our rivers and streams. Beyond these threats it’s important for landowners to understand the other factors that determine the availability of water. Three of these factors are the geology of groundwater and surface water\, the management of soil and vegetation on the land\, and the laws that govern groundwater and surface waters in Texas. \nRegister now by going to https://www.llanoriver.org/workshop or https://www.llanoriver.org/ to register online or for a form to register by mail. The registration fee is $10. Don’t miss this timely workshop on the critical water resources in our part of the Hill Country. Contact for the workshop is Scott Richardson scottr@ctesc.net or 830-459-2271

SUMMARY:Online – Hill Country Eclipse Lunch & Learn Series – Safety and Security
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. \nEric Maloney\, Fire Chief for the City of Kerrville\, will be the featured subject matter expert for this Lunch and Learn session on Safety and Security.
