TWA conservation educator now serves Permian Basin

The Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) has expanded its wildlife and conservation presence with the recent hire of a conservation educator based in Midland and serving the surrounding counties of the Permian Basin.

Taylor Cabler joined TWA in July and has already made significant strides in connecting with area schools during the 2024-2025 school year.

“I am excited to educate the youth of our Permian Basin community about the natural wonders of Texas and help them understand the importance of natural resources stewardship,” she said.

In just a short time, Taylor has successfully coordinated visits with six schools in the region. In her role she will present lessons to K-8 students that align with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards, offered at no cost to area school districts. As the school year progresses, Cabler plans to expand her outreach, ensuring that more students in the Permian Basin area benefit from this vital conservation education program.

With the addition of Cabler, TWA is poised to make a lasting impact on the conservation education landscape in West Texas, ushering in a new era of awareness and stewardship for future generations.

“Taylor is working with schools in the region to educate students about the importance of our Texas natural resources and the integral role that private land stewardship plays in the sustainable health of our land, water, and wildlife. TWA’s education model is successfully operating in several major metropolitan areas across Texas, and we are excited about the opportunity to expand this model for the students and communities in the Permian area,” said Kassi Scheffer-Geeslin, TWA director of youth education.
