The event was very well attended and after a great meal the graduates of this year's class walked the stage for their diplomas, Afterward recognitions were given to those who re-certified and contributed with significantly in various ways. They ended with an honorary award given to the San Marcos Greenbelt Alliance. We offer plenty of opportunities for MN volunteers, advanced training and generally share their interest in protection of Hays County's natural heritage. We are delighted to be so honored.
