“Susan Sander is basically a tree-hugging nature nerd that transplanted to Texas in 1983 from Washington Island in Lake Michigan. Earned a master degree in environmental land-use planning. Founded the Riverside Nature Center in Kerrville in 1989 in order to find out what was what in the Hill Country.

Wesby.” Worked for the Texas Forest Service in oak wilt suppression and stewardship programs, plus conducted training workshops on non-native plants. (Queen of hand-outs).
