The 2011 heat and drought were a trial, but I hope you didn’t suffer directly from the wildfires. As Dave Redden wrote in our Fall newsletter, under certain circumstances it is possible to improve wildlife habitat and simultaneously diminish wildfire threat with intentional ‘prescribed fires’. There is a follow-up article in this issue with information about the new Texas Alliance of Prescribed Burn Associations. We are very fortunate to have members of Washington County Wildlife Society who are statewide leaders in this extremely important effort.
WCWS membership dues are now $20 annually and are due in January. Your Board of Directors strive to minimize Society expenses so we can offer maximum educational opportunities for Society members and local youth.
Dues can be paid each year by:
• Paying at the January meeting
• Mailing payment to – or paying in person at – the Society at 1305 E. Blue Bell Road, Suite 104, Brenham, Texas 77833
• Paying on-line at www.wcwildlife.org.
Please contact Secretary Gael Burke if you have questions about dues
payment.
We are a volunteer organization and can always use your help. Please
contact me or anyone else listed in the in the Contact Info at left if you
want to help. We will be happy to discuss various opportunities with you. You can also visit us at the Volunteer Opportunities table at the January Annual Meeting.
I hope you and yours are blessed and well.
