SUMMARY:Online - Water Wonks Hour Lecture Series #5: The Future of Water in the Hill Country
DESCRIPTION:Join us and Robert Mace\, the Executive Director and Chief Water Policy Officer at The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment and a Professor of Practice in the Department of  Geography and Environmental Studies at Texas State University as we discuss the future of water in the hill country. Texas is growing like wildfire with a 73-percent increase in population expected by 2070. Although much of this growth will be in urban areas\, the urban halos—the counties that surround urban areas—will see transformational growth. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Hill Country\, an environmentally sensitive area with numerous headwater streams\, a regionally stressed aquifer\, and the catchment for the Edwards Aquifer. \nClick here to learn more and RSVP for free.

SUMMARY:Canyon Lake - Hillside Stewardship Landowner Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Are you seeing signs of erosion or gully formation? Would you like to have more water catchment\, soil moisture\, and plant productivity?  \nJoin us for a hands-on erosion control workshop designed for Hill Country land stewards and owners! We’ll build and explore several structures that slow water\, reduce erosion\, and build back your soil. These structures are cost-effective and can often be built using materials commonly found on properties like brush slash\, cuttings\, and loose rocks. This hands-on workshop will be led by Dr. Mollie Walton\, a restoration ecologist with over 30 years of experience helping landowners restore land productivity through enhancing water catchment. \nWe’ll be hosted by Pure Pastures\, a family-owned\, multi-species grazing ranch rooted in regenerative and sustainable agriculture. They’ll walk us through some of their current land management practices and guide us to our work sites that are experiencing erosion. Whether you’re new to land stewardship or looking to deepen your knowledge\, this is a great opportunity to learn\, connect\, and get your hands dirty. Don’t forget your cooler—their Ranch Store will be open with grass-fed meats and ranch goods available for purchase! \nYour $30 registration will cover lunch\, drinks\, and snacks. Limited spots are available\, so register early! \nClick here to RSVP.
