April 2017

It's a great time to be a part of the effort to protect the irreplaceable wide-open spaces of Texas. We've got a busy spring ahead of us, but I wanted to share with you a few must-attend events. This week, I'll be participating in the largest Earth Day event in the world, Earth Day Texas 2017. I'll also be attending the Texas Parks and Wildlife Lone Star Land Steward Awards in May. I'd love to see you at one of them, so please find additional details below. In the meantime, call or email if you have questions or ideas about conservation projects or workshops. Best,

Jeff Crosby Executive Director jeff.crosby@coloradoriverlandtrust.org
