This weekend, as we've been showing all week, members of three chapters of Texas Master Naturalists headed to Guadalupe Mountains National Park to receive training, form partnerships and offer volunteer interpretive services.  The group above represented the Llano Estacado Chapter from Midland/Odessa, the Trans Pecos Chapter from El Paso, and the Tierra Grande Chapter from Big Bend/Davis Mtns.
