This workshop is being co-hosted by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension, Prairie View A&M University Extension, Stephen F. Austin State University and the Texas Water Resources Institute. The program will focus on land and water stewardship practices for the La Nana and Attoyac Bayou watersheds, including watershed function, water quality, and best management practices to reduce bacterial contamination. The area focus will be on pond and aquatic vegetation management, management of grazing livestock, and wild pigs.
