Indian Trail Chapter, Texas Master Naturalist
· 6:00 PM - Business Meeting
· 7:00 PM - Program by Sam Kieschnick - Urban Wildlife Biologist, DFW for Texas Parks and Wildlife

Teaming with Wildlife is a national coalition of businesses and organizations committed to restoring and conserving our native wildlife. The goal of Teaming with Wildlife is to find sustainable funding to support wildlife conservation and management efforts. Recently, significant developments have created the potential to secure 100 million dollars annually to fund state-based conservation efforts. The Texas House Legislature with HB 158 passed last year, finally gave Texas natural resources its long overdue funding. Sam Kieschnick, our TPWD urban wildlife biologist serving the east side of the Metroplex, will show us how we can help participate in one of the biggest "wins" in conservation history!

Sam previously worked as a nature educator at Mansfield’s Oliver Nature Park, as a naturalist at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, as a science interpreter with the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, as a botanist with BRIT, and as an instructor at Weatherford College. He has a master’s degree from Tarleton State University studying the genetics of pocket gophers.

Indian Trail Chapter is part of the statewide Texas Master Naturalist Volunteer Program of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.

The Mission …to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach,
and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas
within their communities.

This program is part of a series of “no cost” “open to the public” Master Naturalist programs offered the fourth Monday (generally) of each month, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please bring a friend!
