The Texas Water Resources Institute’s Texas Riparian and Stream Ecosystem Education Program will host a free workshop from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. April 1 in Floresville for area residents interested in land and water stewardship in the upper San Antonio River watershed, according to AgriLife Today.
A riparian zone is the land area adjacent to the bank of a stream, creek, bayou or river. A healthy riparian area helps protect water quality during runoff events.
The morning session will be held at the Floresville Event Center. The afternoon session will include an outdoor river walk and presentations in the field. Continuing education units may be earned by professional engineers and landscape architects.
Attendees must RSVP by March 27 to Nikki Dictson at 979-458-5915 or n-dictson@tamu.edu or on online at the Texas Riparian Association website.
