Annual Meeting Recap

SMGA once again hosted a successful annual meeting with 75 people in attendance.  We celebrated our many successes, especially the continuing expansion of Purgatory Creek Natural Area. We look forward to a year of more growth and improvement in both our natural areas and our community support!

Hays County Master Naturalists was awarded the Hiking Stick award for their dedication and devotion to the natural areas. We would not be as successfully without their ongoing stewardship and focus on the ecological conservation of the natural areas.

Ann Jensen received our Volunteer of the Year award. “Everyone who has participated with her on the Board, and now on the Conservation Committee, knows how well she balances creativity with analysis and organization. Ann dreams like the best of us, then she gets the dream done!”

Congratulations to our award winners.
