The Piney Wood Lakes Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists welcomed more than 200 attendees to the first ever East Texas Conservation Expo Saturday. With the event’s wide variety of conservation-focused exhibitors and workshops, along with food trucks and vendors, attendees were able to learn more about land and water management, wildlife, Texas native plants, invasive species, pollinators, hunter education and more.
The expo was held in the Polk County Commerce Center and the pavilions at Pedigo Park. The successful inaugural event, which will become an annual event, also attracted attendees from other regional Texas Master Naturalist chapters, who now want to bring similar events to their own communities. The Texas Master Naturalist mission is to “provide education, outreach and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas.”
For anyone interested in becoming a conservation advocate, the next PWL classes will be held on Saturdays from February 22 through June 7, 2025. Visit https://txmn.org/pineywoodlakes for more information.
