Texas Parks & Wildlife PBS show #2301
October 19-25, 2014

On the Right Track
Using state of the art technology to help save one of the rarest birds in North America.
Follow along as biologists track Whooping Cranes at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. 
Using satellite GPS technology the team hopes to help protect this endangered species.

Swimming to Survive
For Texas Game Wardens patrolling the water, drowning is a very real danger. We go underwater with some game wardens as they learn how they respond to aggressors on the water, rescue people from drowning and stay afloat wearing over 20 pounds of gear.

Lone Star Land Steward: Winston 8 Ranch
The Leopold Conservation Award winner for the Texas Parks and Wildlife 2014 Lone Star Land Steward awards is the Winston 8 Ranch in Nacogdoches County, Texas, managed by Simon Winston.   The Winston's have worked hard to show that you can manage east Texas piney woods for the lumber business and for wildlife.

A Day at Pedernales  
Pedernales State Park is no different than any other park – too much stuff to do and not enough people to do it. But thanks to a group of volunteers, the work gets done and park visitors are the ones who benefit. You’ll meet some of these “park helpers”, and find out why they are so incredibly enthusiastic about doing work that can at times be a little mundane.

Postcard From Texas
Relax on a rainy day at Caddo Lake.
