RIparian Recovery Network News
The Riparian Recovery Network is about creating a shared vision for restoration of riparian zones and the uplands that impact them. The intent is to balance individual needs with what is required to keep Wimberley Valley waterways clean, healthy, and beautiful.
The network is about connections – connections with:
- Experts – providing learning through seminars, field trips, personal contact, and more…,
- Plant Resources – including plant identification, recommendations, seeds, and more…,
- Each Other – learning together as we develop the best plan for our individual properties.
We distribute a periodic newsletter (every 4-6 weeks) covering a wide range of topics of interest to those seeking to restore ecological function or to simply learn more about nature.
For more information/assistance or to add your name to our newsletter’s e-mail list, contact riparian@haysmn.org.
