Monthly Meeting -

The PTAS board has decided
to have the monthly meetings as
a hybrid Zoom/In-person meetings.
Because of the uncertainty of future events
regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the PTAS board will review the situation
at each board meeting to determine our actions for meetings and birding
trips.
This guidance may change as the situation develops, and we will
communicate any actions to you as soon as possible.
Please take the precautions needed to keep you and your families safe by
following the U. S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines and any
local governmental directives.

The Prairie and Timbers Audubon chapter is
pleased to be a beneficiary in the
Reliant EcoShareSM Program,
a way that Texans can support the Audubon Chapters throughout Texas and
offset their own carbon production at the same time.
Reliant and EarthShare
of Texas have launched a program that allows Reliant customers to
help reduce their carbon footprints through the purchase of carbon
offsets. For each customer-purchased offset, Reliant will make a
contribution to EarthShare of Texas and its participating organizations,
including Prairie and Timbers Audubon chapter through the Audubon
Foundation of Texas!

Reliant Carbon Offsets — EcoShare
