WIMBERLEY — A new community education series, designed to cultivate water resiliency in Hays County, has begun hosting workshops.
In partnership with the Mothering Earth podcast, Hays County and the cities of Wimberley and Woodcreek, The Watershed Association started the series — titled Water Wise — focused on educating the community about water conservation efforts, something that is crucial to maintain the natural resources. According to its website, Water Wise is designed to bring together the voices across the region to welcome dialogue, share practical solutions and empower residents to become stewards of the land and water.
Salwa Khan, the voice behind Mothering Earth, has been doing her podcast for approximately 11 years to discuss environmental issues. She explained that one of the issues she has seen not only locally, but also all over the country, is the need for more native plants everywhere because, while important, it’s not just a matter of water, it’s also a matter of bio-diversity and the extinction of different plants and animals who depend on those plants.
