SUMMARY:Volunteer: Running Brushy Middle School Wildflower Seed Stomp
DESCRIPTION:Running Brushy Middle School’s Wildflower Seed Stomp is on Wednesday\, December 6\, 2023\, 4:30 PM\, at 2303 N. Lakeline Blvd.\, Cedar Park\, TX. \nOur NPSOT chapter is providing support for this Leander ISD student project.  We need some volunteers to show up at the school Wednesday afternoon to help monitor the wildflower seed dispersal and stomping.  This will take place in front of the school\, between the main entrance parking lot and Lakeline Blvd.  Part of the area has recently been disturbed with utility work and is mostly bare ground.  Around the edges\, there are some native species that do not need to be stomped. \nThere is a lot of enthusiasm among the student body for this event.  If you can come help\, please join us.  You will be protecting bluebonnet seedlings\, four-nerve daisies\, Blackfoot daisies and some other native species that are present. \nPlease wear your NPSOT name tag if you have one.  Because of school pick-up traffic\, it would be better to arrive a few minutes after 4:30. \nIf you have questions\, please send us an email at wilco-chapter@npsot.org.

This information will be provided within the natural regions framework in the hope that it will help others appreciate the botanical diversity in their neighborhoods. \n* Note from NPSOT-Wilco => Dr. Art Gibson is a long-time chapter member! \nAbout our speaker: Bill Carr received a B. S. in botany from The Ohio State University in December 1978 and wasted no time moving to Texas\, settling in Alpine in January 1979 before eventually relocating to Austin. He spent 35 years doing field work for Texas plant conservation programs\, first with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and later with The Nature Conservancy of Texas. After leaving TNCT in 2011\, he formed his own company\, Acme Botanical Services\, to continue to help private landowners with plant conservation efforts. Bill is now working part-time as a file clerk at the Billie L. Turner Plant Resources Center at the University of Texas at Austin\, the herbarium to which he contributed about 25\,000 specimens during his field career. \nApril 2015 field trip exploring native plants in (far) eastern Williamson County.
