Bringing the Natural World Home Using Native Plants: A Personal Journey

Bringing the Natural World Home Using Native Plants: A Personal Journey

Native Plant Society of San Antonio meeting will feature: Craig Hensley who is a lifelong learner, naturalist and educator, having spent more than 40 years engaging audiences from Minnesota to Texas about the wonders of the natural world from birds and butterflies to the night sky, native plants, and everything in-between. He has developed a knack for growing a wide variety of native plants and through those planted in his and wife Terry Lashley's yard has invited a ever-increasing diversity of fauna, from bees, butterflies, flies, wasps, moths and beetles to those critters that eat them, and those that eat those. Craig has a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife Management and a M.S. in Zoology, and has worked for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for more than a decade, as an interpreter and resource specialist at Guadalupe River State Park and for the past five years as one of two Texas Nature Trackers Biologists. He is father to son Dr. Noah Hensley, PhD. and daughter Dr. Jennifer Hensley, a pediatrician, and grandfather to four girls and one boy.
