Reading Green, Oyster Industry & Quality Water

Growing Green
Building materials, natural lighting, and solar panels make Austin’s new central library a very green building. But the library’s greenest feature may be up on top. The rooftop garden, landscaped with native plants, is a rest stop for library patrons and urban pollinators alike.

The Grind
Over the past decade, Texas oysters have endured everything from hurricanes to floods to drought. And that’s got Oystermen feeling the pinch of less profits. Now work is underway to help strengthen Texas bays and the oyster industry.

Lone Star Land Steward: Couch Mountain
Nelson Roach embodies the tenets of land stewardship through his holistic approach to managing this Camp County property near Daingerfield. Through creek-side improvements, Roach is improving instream flows and the quality of water flowing from his property into Lake O’ The Pines Reservoir. He has worked tirelessly to establish quality habitat for wildlife, particularly toward reintroduction of Eastern wild turkey.

Trailriding Tyler
Grab your bike and enjoy some of the best mountain biking East Texas has to offer. We hit the hills and tackle the miles of single track trails at Tyler State Park.

Old Tunnel State Park
Abandoned by train traffic long ago, a century-old tunnel near Fredericksburg has become a seasonal home for millions of bats. Now this small state park provides a grand wildlife viewing opportunity on summer evenings.

Postcard From Texas
Enjoy an early morning on the Chihuahuan desert grasslands.
