- **Event Description**: Join us for our Chapter meeting and AT presentation with guest speaker Maureen Nolan-Wilde. Maureen is a dedicated member of the Galveston Bay Area Chapter of Texas Master Naturalists, contributing over 12,000 volunteer hours to conservation efforts in the Galveston community. 
Drawing on 38 years of experience in global project management and communications in the energy sector, Maureen now channels her expertise into environmental education and stewardship. As a past chapter president, she serves as Director of the Beach Hero Program—an educational initiative that has engaged more than 2,500 elementary students in marine conservation and coastal ecology. She also volunteers at the Gulf Center for Sea Turtle Research's rehabilitation hospital, furthering her commitment to protecting Galveston Bay's diverse coastal ecosystems.
Maureen's passion for sea beans and drift seeds inspires her community education efforts, helping others appreciate the fascinating natural treasures that wash ashore along our Texas coast." She is an avid drifter and loves to share the lore of these seaside treasures.  

What exactly is a sea bean and where can you find them while visiting the coastline. Did you know that sea beans can bring you good luck at sea while others helped Christopher Columbus and other explorers on their journeys? This session explores the “what, where and why” of sea beans and even answers the question of whether you can grow sea beans in our area. We will cover everything from the most common to the rarest sea beans and other treasures found during my wanders along the beachfront. At the end, you’ll have the opportunity to see and handle sea beans, sea glass and other treasures from my personal collection gathered over many years of beach combing. 

Social/Snacks 8:30-9 am with presentation and business meeting following.
