January 28, 2008- Have you ever wondered how other MN chapters take on significant projects? And how they get the job done? And how they turn out? Our presenter Monday will be Gabe Schooley, currently the Interim Executive Director of the Doss Heritage & Culture Center in Weatherford. Before coming to Weatherford, Gabe was with the Texas parks & Wildlife Dept. at Fort McKavett State Historic Site in South Central Texas. Gabe will show and tell us about how he worked with Master Naturalists from that area to "DEVELOP OUTDOOR LEARNING FACILITIES".

February 18, 2008- "CTMN AWARDS CEREMONY"

March 17, 2008- Another night of members presentations is on tap for this Monday, and it is a wide variety of topics. Members who are on the board of the Bob Jones Nature Center will give us an overview of what's happening there, highlighting the volunteer opportunities for our members. Josephine Keeney and Rosalie Rogers will present there work at the Fielder House butterfly garden. Brian Rowe will present "USING RASTER IMAGES in PRAIRIE SURVEYS." I know, it sounds awfully technical, but Brian promises the presentation will be mostly non-technical, so even the most extreme technophobes might get something from it.

April 21, 2008- My guess is that everyone in our organization knows THE NATURE CONSERVANCY and I suspect that a good number of us our members. But how many of us know much about TNC's activities in North Texas. Well, as they say, were fixin' to find out. David Bezanson is TNC's guy responsible for their activities in our area and he is going to tell us all about it. And maybe we can discover some new ways we can work with them to preserve our natural environment.

May 19, 2008- Our new chapter president, Bill Keller, shares his view of “SEEING WITH A NATURALIST'S EYES” and the importance of having an overview among the different nature disciplines.

June 16, 2008- At least once a year, we seem to have a herp presentation. This year will be no different. Except that this year we will have a speaker who has devoted his entire career to the study of reptiles. Gary Ferguson is a professor emeritus at TCU and has been a professor at TCU since1974. The title of his presentation is "MY LIFE WITH LIZARDS". How many people do you know who can use that title? Although he has researched reptiles in many parts of the world, he will concentrate on our local critters.
