BUTTERFLY BEAUTY, ENCHANTED ROCK & THE INSPIRING ECOLOGIST

Betting on Butterflies
Some fragile flying insects bring beauty and business to Texas each year. Are we being good hosts?

Parks & Wildlife People: Timothy Birdsong
Texas Parks and Wildlife's Chief of Habitat Conservation Timothy Birdsong applies science-based stewardship to support healthy aquatic ecosystems. By establishing partnerships with landowners, local and national organizations, Timothy has helped improve habitat conditions for fish and wildlife in over 100 miles of Texas rivers and streams.

Producer’s Favorites: Epitaph
Video producer Ron Kabele worked on the Texas Parks & Wildlife television show for 23 years. As part of the show’s thirtieth anniversary, Ron introduces us to an inspiring character, Geraldine Watson. As a plant ecologist and Ranger for the National Park Service, Geraldine played a pivotal role in the creation of Big Thicket National Preserve. She was feisty and combative, passionate and self-sacrificing. Even after she retired, Geraldine spent her time and energy restoring a remnant of the beautiful virgin forests of her childhood.
