The Elm Fork Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist program has been awarded financial support from H-E-B for three of its projects as part of ongoing conservation efforts in North Texas. Two projects will benefit via the Pollinators for Texas initiative and one through the Trees for Texans grant program.

Funding Details

  • Lantana Petals and Pathways: This project will utilize funds from the Pollinators for Texas initiative to transform a community trail into a 3.5-acre wildflower meadow, supporting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Project Manager Diane Wetherbee highlighted the importance of community engagement in encouraging locals to plant native pollinators.
  • Green Acres: The Place to Bee project aims to restore a biodiverse native ecosystem with funds for planting native species and installing a rainwater collection system. Project Manager Becky Bertoni plans to inspire public participation through the Green Acres iNaturalist Pollinator Photography Exhibit.
  • Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center: Supported by the Trees for Texans grant, this project will focus on planting 1,000 saplings to counteract tree loss from the emerald ash borer. Clay Thurmond, project manager, noted that this large planting event will occur on November 8, 2025, for Arbor Day.

The Elm Fork Chapter, serving Denton, Cooke, and Wise counties, is engaged in various activities, including conservation programs and educational outreach. The chapter has more than 230 active members and is one of 49 chapters supported by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension and Texas Parks and Wildlife.
