Houston Audubon Nature Photography Association (HANPA) is an informal photo club for Houston Audubon members. They hold meetings monthly, September through May, on the first Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary headquarters library.
The 34th annual Fort Bend Regional Vegetable Conference is a celebration of vegetable production along the upper Gulf Coast region. Varying counties join Fort Bend to put on this event together, focusing on teaching sustainable practices to help producers maximize efficiencies and profitability.
The Summit will include presentations about various H-GAC programs that can provide goods, services, technical assistance, and funding for parks and natural areas projects. These projects serve as models for planning and project implementation for parks and natural areas in the region. Projects will be honored in three categories. The event will also include the annual Parks and Natural Areas Awards recognition ceremony. The awards program will be followed by networking with H-GAC staff and other parks professionals.
Come join your fellow members to show a little love to Hermann Park on February 9. Starting at 9 am, everyone will spread out across the Park to tackle various projects. After the work is done, sit back in the McGovern Centennial Gardens for a complimentary beer and reflect on your good work.
No previous volunteering experience is required. Registration preferred.
