With Arkansas Master Naturalists State President Laurie Hartshorn in attendance and a packed agenda on the table, the NWAMN Board of Directors at its August meeting addressed issues and opportunities related to prairie restoration, strategic planning, the Lake Wedington Recreation Area, and a proposed native plant nursery in Benton County.
Especially encouraging was the presence of about 40 master naturalists and friends at the historic Shiloh Meeting Hall in Springdale, creating an inspiring atmosphere of special significance to Chapter President Dave Leisure, who opened the meeting on August 13 with his trademark Fun Fact about Nature – this time about the wild prairie petunia and its unusual way of spreading its seeds.
