Bob Mione is the Meadow Manager at Connemara Conservancy in Allen, TX. Connemara is a 72-acre meadow nature preserve. His presentation will track the history of active native grass and wildflower restoration at the Connemara Meadow from 2012 until the present. Various successes and failures will be discussed to include details on ground preparation, seeding techniques, irrigation techniques and other forms of restoration.
The goal is to restore the natural, biologically diverse ecosystem that is native to the area. Volunteers help with restoration work to re-establish native prairie plants, remove invasive species, maintain trails, guide nature walks and other educational events for the public. The meadow connects people with nature and is open to the public on weekends.
Bob has been serving as the volunteer Connemara Meadow Nature Preserve Manager since 2010. He completed his Texas Master Naturalist training in 2012 and has been a member of the Blackland Prairie Chapter since then. Bob has been actively involved in the native grass and wildflower restoration efforts at the Connemara Meadow since 2009. Bob provides guidance and suggestions to many organizations on the topic of restoration.
