ALPINE — The Big Bend Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas will hold this month’s program on Saturday, February 22,  at 1 p.m. in the AEP room of the Alpine Public Library.

Ramon Gonzalez, a local climate activist from Presidio, will be discussing “Everything is Connected in Presidio.” This transformative project is focused on two strategies — climate resilience and pollution reduction — and seeks to use green infrastructure, nature-based solutions, and technology to make a greener and more resilient Presidio. The project will mitigate extreme heat and flooding; reduce pollution; and create a cooling center as a place of refuge during heat emergencies. All are welcome. You need not be a member to attend. To sign up or get information, contact Fonda at fondag@sbcglobal.net as space is limited.
