Master Naturalists hosting river conservation talk

The Texas Master Naturalist Hill Country Chapter will host a public presentation on river function and recovery Monday, Feb. 23, at the Guadalupe Basin Natural Resources Center.

Steve Nelle, a conservationist and author, will present “How a River Works and How it Heals Itself” at 7 p.m. The event will also be available online via Zoom.

The presentation will focus on how rivers recover after major disturbances, including floods, and how landowners can support that recovery through proper vegetation and land management. Restoring native vegetation plays a key role in stabilizing riverbanks and promoting ecosystem recovery.
