Here on the Mid-Coast
The Eastern Ecozone meets the Western,
The Gulf of Mexico meets the Coastal Prairies,
and the Live Oak Savannah of East Texas
meets the Tamaulipan Thorn Scrub of South Texas.
We are at the heart of the Central Flyway for migratory birds and butterflies, where flocks fuel up for their fall trip to Central America and resupply on their spring trip back north.
This convergence of ecologies creates an area of great biodiversity, where the Mid-Coast Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists learn, volunteer, and engage the public.
Our Mission:
To develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach, and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities.
