Sandy Stinson, Class of 2004            Kenny Wickline, Class of 2015
We miss each of you.

New Class Projects – Many thanks to our new class members for outstanding presentations on your class projects. For 2022 the projects are Campo Santo Monarch Waystation, Forest Trunk Educational Materials, Tenison Park Riparian Restoration, and Buckeye Trail & Bonton/Ideal Community Outreach.

Not only did each team offer outstanding displays of their work, but also they presented project overviews to the whole group. These projects create new resources for the chapter and will have ongoing impact in the community.

Thanks to our guests and members for participating in this year’s summer social. I hope all feel welcome at NTMN. Special thanks to the Hospitality and Programs teams for making this such a fun event.

Take care,
Scott Hudson
President
North Texas Master Naturalist
