Join the TX League of Conservation Voters at the Texas Capitol steps for a rally against the Governor’s divisive agenda and speak up for local tree ordinances on Tuesday, July 18, 2017, at 1:00 PM on the State Capitol’s front steps. There are very real issues facing everyday Texans, especially when it comes to the environment—none of those issues are going to be addressed this Special Session. Students will still be at risk of drinking contaminated water in schools, clean air regulations will continue to be inadequate and conservation efforts will remain unfinished. Texans deserve better.
If you can’t make it to the rally, participate online by using their hashtag, #ISpeakForTheTree or donate $5 to help amplify their cause here.
Join REI staff to learn about the basics of hiking with dogs. This class will help you plan a successful hike for you and your canine companion. They will review where to go, what to bring for you and your pup, and what you may encounter on the trail. They will talk about where to find dog-friendly parks – local, state-wide and nationally. Having the right equipment is critical, so they will discuss gear, as well as safety and comfort items you’ll need to bring along to make a safe, enjoyable hike for both you and your dog. Learn how to travel on trails with your dog in a way that makes the least impact on the natural area, including wildlife. Attendees are encouraged to bring all of their hiking with dogs questions, but unfortunately due to classroom constraints, they ask that you do not bring your non-service animals.
