Naturalists at the Ney - Talk with Chuck Foster

Join East Austin native Chuck Foster — a Texas Master Naturalist, gardener, and landscape designer — for a lively talk on the vital role insects play in our local ecosystems. From bees to beetles, Chuck will share how Texas insects connect with our yards, parks, and neighborhoods, and how you can create inviting spaces for them.

With practical tips and natural insight, you’ll leave ready to support biodiversity right outside your door — even for the bugs you’re not too sure about. Participants will also create their own scientific illustration using resin-cast specimens and watercolors.
