đź“Ł MY FELLOW ROTARIAN,

This past Friday, Tina Buford inspired our members with a compelling presentation on the importance of education, conservation, and caring for the land we call home. She shared stories of hands-on programs that engage youth with natural resources and highlighted how thoughtful stewardship can create lasting opportunities for communities.

Her talk emphasized that protecting our environment isn’t just about land management—it’s about preparing the next generation to lead, innovate, and make a positive impact in their communities. Members left with a renewed sense of how education and conservation go hand in hand in shaping a sustainable future for South Texas.
