SUMMARY:Water Wonks Lecture Series #5
DESCRIPTION:Join Greater Edwards Aquifer Alliance for their May installment of their Water Wonks series\, which will focus on the regional flood planning process and why conserving floodplains are important. \nAnnalisa Peace (GEAA Executive Director) and Debbie Reid (GEAA Technical Director) will explain the Texas Water Development Board’s regional flood planning process\, which will allocate state funds for flood mitigation strategies and provides opportunities to employ green infrastructure and land conservation strategies. The video by David Skuodas (Director of Design\, Construction\, and Maintenance at the Mile High Flood District) presents his analysis of why governments are often playing catch-up to pay for maintenance of stormwater channels\, basins\, and other structures. In many cases\, it would take hundreds or thousands of years for a city to collect enough taxes to pay to adequately maintain drainage infrastructure from new development. Mr. Skuodas advocates for working with the existing natural stream channels\, maintaining flood resiliency and water quality\, protecting public safety\, and saving taxpayers money.

SUMMARY:Purple Martin Workshop - Travis Audubon
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to know more about Purple Martins\, how to set up a colony\, and be a Purple Martin landlord? Are you an existing landlord wanting to meet other Martin aficionados and learn tips? Have you always wanted to be a citizen scientist\, gathering useful data that can help Martin conservation efforts? If so\, this Purple Martin Workshop is for you. \nThe first Purple Martins typically arrive in Austin at the end of January\, so this class will give you information you can put to use right away\, either at your own colony\, or observing Martins at Hornsby Bend or any other existing colony. \nThis class will focus on the life cycle of Purple Martins and how you can participate as a Purple Martin landlord or helper. You will learn the maintenance routine recommended by the Purple Martin Conservation Association. You will also learn how to record and send in nesting data that is compiled nationally. We will also go outside to do hands-on nest preparation and discussion. Class participants are invited to participate through mid-June as helpers and observers as the class teachers maintain and record the Purple Martin season. Later in the summer\, we will invite class members to join us in educating others at our giant Purple Martin parties. \nCourse instructors Andy and Julia Balinsky have been the Purple Martin stewards since 2003. They have watched over 3000 Purple Martin babies fledge during that time. They have also spent many evenings watching the Martin pre-migration staging roost in the late summer. \nThis class will be in-person at the Hornsby Bend Center for Environmental Research. No virtual option is available. Class participants should plan to take notes. You’re welcome to bring your own snacks or lunch.
