Travelling Turkeys, Wild Teachers & Saving Sharks

Gobblers Go East
Decades of restocking the Eastern Wild Turkey has proven successful for some East Texas counties, but many areas still aren’t seeing birds. A new research study will focus on some recently transplanted birds outfitted with GPS transmitters to find out what turkeys think is a good home.

Educating the Educators
Children growing up in increasingly urban areas need to understand to role that wildlife plays in our world, but not all teachers know enough to teach it.  ProjectWILD is empowering teachers with the lessons and activities they need to educate the next generation of wildlife stewards.

Save Our Sharks
Sharks are disappearing from the world's oceans at an alarming rate and biologists are worried. From shark finning to unregulated fishing these apex predators are in trouble. We take a look at what’s being done along the Texas coast to help save these wolves of the ocean.

Bonham State Park
Bonham State Park is small by Texas standards, but that’s what people like about it. It’s a great place to swim, hike, fish, and meet the neighbors. 

Postcard From Texas
There are a lot of different birds to see at Estero Llano Grande State Park.
