Welcome to the Heartwood Chapter web site!
Since 2005, the Texas Master Naturalist Heartwood Chapter has been organizing and training volunteers to assist the nature centers, nature sites, and wildlife organizations in and around Montgomery County, Texas -situated in the Pineywoods ecosystem.
Our volunteers are your friends and neighbors who are inspired by nature! They want to share what they learn about the natural habitat of the Texas Pineywoods. They want to observe, record, and maintain the wonders of nature found in the habitat where we all live, work, and play.
Have you seen the Heartwood Chapter video, produced by Ken Kramm and starring our own Texas Master Naturalist Heartwood members? Film now showing in the About Us section>>
Read what our member's have to say about their volunteer experience...

Ash says I like the park-like nature sites; but my favorite volunteer spot is the Jones State Forest. Why? I like the little bit of ruggedness. Too much polish and manicured edges makes me feel like I am in the big city. I am currently a member of severl ongoing Project Groups: the Jones Forest Outdoor Classroom Garden, Diversity through Nature Discovery , and NatureLIVE for National Pollinator Week. If you have an interest in Forest Management, Plants, or Animals and there is not currently a project going on to suit your interests, come up with an idea and pass it on to John Warner, the Forest Manager. |

Squirrel vac success
Last year the Heartwood Chapter donated a piece of equipment to help with the endangered red cockaded woodpecker species. What was it? A vacuum. Yes. A vacuum to safely and humanely remove the flying squirrels when they take over the red cockaded woodpecker's cavity nest. Is it working? Here's a recent message from Wildlife Biologist Donna Work.
