Foreward Table of Contents 1 PHIL HARDBERGER PARK CONSERVANCY & ALAMO AREA MASTER NATURALISTS FOREWARD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The production of this Resource Guide to the Oak Loop Trail is a joint project of the Alamo Area Master Naturalist Leader- ship Team for the Fourth Saturday Events in Phil Hardberger Park , the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy, and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club Two key individuals with the Alamo Area Master Naturalists, Wendy Thornton, chair of the team, and Liz Robbins, presi- dent of the local chapter, were instrumental in leading, encouraging, supporting, and directing the effort. A large group of Master Naturalists was involved in the writing and editing process. I want to be sure to thank those who wrote multiple talking points; these contributors are Wendy Leonard, Jessica Leslie, and Christine Westerman. While many persons contributed to the editing, Jessica Leslie and Ron Tullius helped me in each picking up a third of the points to review editorial comments and finalize the pieces. But then, Ron Tullius did a superb job of re-editing the entire document. Ron improved tremendously the quality of the final product by catching so many spelling and grammar errors and suggesting many small improvements. The quality of the entire work was immeasurably enhanced by Ron’s careful work. Thank you so much, Ron.
