Thank you for joining us at the 20th Texas Master Naturalist Program Annual Meeting!
This year’s event took place in Rockwall, Texas, ran from Friday, October 18th through Sunday, October 20th. The event was hosted at the Hilton Dallas/Rockwall Lakefront Hotel on the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard just east of Dallas. Each year’s Annual Meeting provides an opportunity for Texas Master Naturalist volunteers from around the state to gather, participate in hands-on educational seminars, and receive all of their Advanced Training requirements for the year within one weekend. It’s also an opportunity for program participants and supporters to network, share new ideas/projects, and to learn from different chapters from different regions of the state. This year’s meeting also included day trips and training workshops to many local, state and even national refuges/parks, many of which focused on the diversity of geography, flora, fauna and history this unique area of Texas.
