Upcoming Ashe Juniper Symposium
Project Bedrock is excited to announce the 2024 Ashe Juniper Symposium. The two-day event will take place at the Commons Conference Center in Austin, May 8 and 9. Project Bedrock served on the planning committee assembled by Biodiversity Works over the last year to help make this reality. Elizabeth McGreevy, our founding executive director, one of the presenters, will discuss the differences between old-growth forests and pioneer thickets and why they demand different management strategies.
The goal of the symposium is to advance our collective understanding of the science of Ashe juniper and facilitate applications of this understanding into management and conservation of sustainable, resilient and ecologically-appropriate ecosystems.
Presentation to the Alamo Group Sierra Club
On March 19, Elizabeth McGreevy will present a powerpoint that explains why we need to improve how we manage Texas karst country and why it’s important to stop fighting mountain cedars. She will then explain what Project Bedrock is doing to reverse 100 years of misinformation that has guided poor land management decisions for this fragile region of Texas. The meeting, at the William R. Sinkin Eco Centro, is open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
