Riparian Recovery Network News
Winter Dawn 2 - Herb Smith - Naturescapes Photography Contest 2011
The Riparian 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 Hays County waterways clean, healthy, and beautiful.
For several years following the 2015 Memorial Day flood we distribute a periodic newsletter covering a wide range of topics of interest to those seeking to restore ecological function. Or those who simply want to learn more about nature and its relationship to land management practices. We remain committed to these goals and have expanded our focus to include more discussion of the uplands. Thus, the Riparian Network News has been replaced by the HELM (Habitat Enhancing Land Management) Network News which you can find here.
