Attendees will see habitat cages, learn how volunteers are collecting valuable ecological data, and explore how the project is making waves across Matagorda, Calhoun, and Aransas Counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a Master Naturalist, can I count attending a #TMNTuesday as Advanced Training (AT) hours?

Yes! Attending a #TMNTuesday webinar as a live attendee or watching it recorded post-event can count for AT Hours under AT:TMN Tuesday in VMS. However, AT hours can only be earned in the year that they were watched. Please work with your local chapter’s VMS Admin to log these hours.

What time will these #TMNTuesday events be held?

#TMNTuesdays will be held each month in 2024 on the Second Tuesday of each month at the noon hour (12PM Central Standard Time) – lasting approximately one hour with some months going an hour and a half.

Will the #TMNTuesday events be recorded?

Yes! These will be recorded each month and shared to this website by the following day of each month.

Do I need to register for the #TMNTuesday each month?

Yes, each month we’ll post a WebEx registration link that will register you to attend that event. After registering, you’ll receive the WebEx event link in your email inbox, along with the required password for that event. Keep in mind that EACH month will have a different registration link & password.

Do I have to be a Texas Master Naturalist member to attend a #TMNTuesday?

No! These are open to the public – all are welcome to attend. Each person will need to register via the WebEx registration link listed for that month.

Are there any resources for how to use or connect to the WebEx Event?

Yes, we have a WebEx 101 Guide with information on what equipment is needed, what steps to take to get connected and a test website to log into a test WebEx meeting to check your connections – WebEx 101 Guide

How long after I watch a #TMNTuesday video can I log my AT hours?

In order to stay within the 45-Day rule for logging AT hours, you will need to log your hours at most 45 days after watching the video. Because you can view the video after the live event, please report the day you view the video, not the original date the video aired.
