This year one of the recipients of a Bluebonnet RC&D Community Improvement Grant was the Hill County Master Gardeners. The group’s project was to install a rainwater harvesting system for the Wallace Nature Trail Butterfly Garden and Monarch Way Station. The project supported Bluebonnet’s goals such as providing positive learning opportunities to residents, visitors and volunteers, and improving the knowledge, understanding, and conservation of our natural resources.

Bluebonnet RC&D Board Member from Hill County, Karen Siddall, presented a $500 check to the group president, Carol Beyer, at their August 8 monthly meeting.
