Victor Emanuel Nature Tours offer departures for Houston Audubon members. The camaraderie shared among chapter members strengthens the chapter and provides an excellent opportunity to brainstorm program ideas and challenges. A more direct partnership benefit is a $500 donation to Houston Audubon’s habitat conservation, education, and advocacy programs when an HA member signs up for designated tours.
On a personal level, Victor is a native Houstonian and calls the Upper Texas Coast his favorite birding place. He started birding the region when he was just eight years old. Victor is a Houston Audubon Advisory Board Member and has championed many Houston Audubon conservation projects.

The EcoChallenge is an opportunity to change your life for good. Common wisdom says it takes at least two weeks to change a habit: if you can stick with a new behavior for 14 days in a row, you’re a lot more likely to keep it up forever. EcoChallengers share their progress and earn points for taking action. The combination of collective inspiration, camaraderie and friendly competition makes change a little easier — and a lot more fun.
The Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston invites you to join their team for this year’s Eco-Challenge. For more information on the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

The Woodlands Farmer’s Market at Grogan’s Mill was established in 2008 as “The Grogan’s Mill Farmer’s Market,†a weekly community event sponsored by the Grogan’s Mill Village Association. The Market is open Saturdays from 8 am – 12 pm at the Grogan’s Mill Center. The market typically closes only one Saturday during the year, the Saturday between Christmas and New Year’s Day.  If you drive to the market you will find the village center has plenty of parking. If you choose to walk or ride your bike, it is located just off of the Mill Bend Trail with direct access under Grogan’s Mill Rd.
