Register for July 18’s “From Balconies to Backyards”

News from The Good Water Master Naturalist Chapter:

The Good Water Master Naturalist Chapter is excited to invite the public to our upcoming nature and conservation event, “From Balconies to Backyards 2026: Taking Care of What You Have” on Saturday, July 18, 2026. Registration is open to all. Attend in-person or virtually.

The event features keynote speaker John Hart Asher who serves as host of the award winning and nationally syndicated PBS show, Central Texas Gardener. With his presentation titled “Be the Bison,” John will speak about his experience with ecological restoration and discuss pocket prairies as an example of a way that central Texans (and beyond) can drastically increase biodiversity to the benefit of all. Components of the pocket prairie strategy can be applied at multiple scales (think balcony, flower bed, or ranch) and he’ll happily answer any questions for folks who want to help Be the Bison.
