NTMN April 1st Chapter Meeting: Relevancy of Citizen Science: iNaturalist and the story of urban wildlife

Mar 23, 2026 | Chapter Meeting

April 1, 2026, 6:30 socializing, 7:00 start. This month’s speaker is Sam Kieschnick. Come for the meeting, stay after for black-lighting!

How can we tell the story of wildlife living with us in the urban ecosystem? What relevancy are some dots on a map? Is technology taking us away from nature? In this program, we’ll talk all about it! We will explore the ways that iNaturalist and citizen science has led to new scientific discoveries, how it has guided public land management, and how we’ve used it to learn more about the flora and fauna all around us. We can use this tool to engage others with the story of urban wildlife. Attend this presentation in person as we’ll have live animals to examine and for those meeting in person we’ll cap the evening with black-lighting to see who’s flying after dark.

Black-lighting after will be at the Brookhaven pollinator garden, an easy walk from H Building! Come see the night creatures of spring. It’s fun!

NTMN January Chapter Meeting: Raptors Amazing Birds of Prey

Dec 31, 2025 | Chapter Meeting

Raptors: Amazing Birds of Prey and the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center

We’re excited to welcome Laura Johnson, Executive Director of Blackland Prairie Raptor Center, as our featured speaker at our upcoming January chapter meeting. Laura will overview of raptors to ensure we all share a strong baseline understanding of this important group of birds. From there, she’ll dive into the kinds of questions the public is most curious about, such as why raptors matter ecologically, why Red-tailed Hawks are so commonly seen along highways, why Cooper’s Hawks frequent backyard bird feeders, and which hawks are most common in the Metroplex. She’ll also address timely local topics, such as why it’s important to keep our distance from Bald Eagles at White Rock Lake, equipping members with compelling facts and explanations we can confidently share during outreach and education events.

The program will also focus on action and impact. Laura will explain how the public can help conserve raptor populations, highlight the critical rehabilitation and education work done at Blackland Prairie Raptor Center, and outline opportunities for volunteers to get involved. This talk will not only expand our knowledge of raptors, but also provide practical stories, insights, and guidance we can use to better connect the public to these remarkable birds and to the broader importance of conservation in North Texas.

NTMN Chapter Meeting- Wednesday, October 1st- Leaf Your Yard Wild: What’s Happening Under Autumn’s Blanket?

Sep 24, 2025 | Chapter Meeting

The Xerces Society spearheaded a social media campaign with the “leave the leaves” slogan. Essentially, they ask people to leave the leaves that fall to the ground in the autumn as overwintering habitat for various animals. Leaf litter makes great habitat not only for insects but for also a bunch of other ground dwelling animals. This is a great way to boost the pollinator population, feed the birds and create a healthy ecosystem using nature’s free resources. We know that mulch—like leaf litter—helps hold moisture in the soil, provide nutrients to plants and helps plants withstand weather extremes. But leaving leaf litter comes with challenges for homeowners, garden guardians and habitat managers of all stripes. Wizzie Brown will help us understand how to keep leaves and why.

Come learn about building a healthy ecosystem in your yard, garden or natural area!

Speaker Bio:

Wizzie Brown has been with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service since 2002 and has been playing with insects since she was a toddler. She is an Extension Program Specialist with AgriLife’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

Wizzie earned a B.S. in entomology from The Ohio State University and a M.S. in entomology from Texas A&M University. Wizzie’s research focuses on imported fire ants, including community wide fire ant management. The integrated pest management program provides identification, biological and management information to anyone who needs help. In addition, AgriLife Extension Program Specialists Molly Keck and Wizzie Brown, educate listeners about insects found in the urban backyards and gardens of Texas. You can find their podcasts at: https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/asset-local/bugs-by-the-yard-podcast/

You can also find insect and other arthropod information on Wizzie’s blog.

NTMN August Chapter Meeting- Wednesday, August 6th: Fashion is Plastic: The Role of Clothing and Textiles in the Plastic Problem

Jul 27, 2025 | Chapter Meeting

The rise of plastics in clothing and accessories is one of the largest drivers in environmental concerns like microplastics, chemical pollution, and excess waste volumes. This talk offers an overview of the issue, including systemic accelerating factors and some actions to take at various levels, as well as current and future opportunities for correction.

Our speaker is Sarah Mosher. She is a theatre designer specializing in costume design and technology, a fiber artist, and an Assistant Professor at Baylor University. She has an interest in universal design and design systems, cultivating design thinking in students, and engaging with questions about design lifecycles across disciplines. She has a passion for costume history, specifically the impact on society, and reflection of the values of each time and place. Mosher is interested in the critical area of sustainability in the textile and clothing industry, and the exploration of how to apply this thinking to theatrical construction. She has worked professionally as a costume designer for theatre, opera, film, and dance in Seattle and in Central Texas. Her work has encompassed interdisciplinary devised work and she has a passion for the dramaturgical work inherent in theatrical design.

There will be a related AT opportunity on Saturday, August 23rd, from 12 pm to 2 pm at City Park (1515 South Harwood St, Dallas, Texas 75215). Sarah will be leading a Bioplastics Workshop, which provides learners an opportunity to create a variety of bioplastics and engage in an exploration of applications in costume and fashion.
