UMC’s Green Team receives grant from Master Naturalists

In January, the Wimberley United Methodist Church invited Hays County Master Naturalists to conduct a Habitat Enhancing Land Management assessment of church property. The Master Naturalist team identified an area on the far west end of the property that would be a good location for a bird blind.

A bird blind is a structure that allows observers to view birds without being seen by the birds themselves.

The Wimberley United Methodist Church’s Green Team member Pat Heintz applied for a grant from the Hays County Master Naturalists and was awarded a Firefly grant in March. The grant provided half the cost of building the bird blind.
