“Girl Power: Texas Female Entrepreneurs” is the theme of the conference set for Oct. 9-10 at The Inn on Barons Creek, 308 S. Washington St., Fredericksburg. The cost is $125 and includes meals, break refreshments and tour transportation.

Those with a passion for environmental stewardship and a love for the Texas Hill Country will want to be there, said Larry Redmon, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension program leader and associate head, Department of Soil and Crop Sciences, Bryan-College Station.

The award-winning program, now being held for the seventh year, aims to provide women the tools they need to manage their piece of Texas, Redmon said. More than 350 women have attended to date. “More and more women are becoming landowners through inheritance and other means, and we want to help them be a success in the management of their natural resources,” he said. “By offering a ladies' conference, we hope women will feel more comfortable with attending and participating.

Environmental stewardship will be the focus of the next Bennett Trust Land Stewardship Women’s Conference, which targets the greater number of women making the decisions as landowners and operators, according to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service program’s coordinator.  We also want to encourage mothers to bring their daughters - it is a generational thing.”
