The Rio Grande, Down But Not Out
Join a group of students from Corpus Christi as they head up to Big Bend to float the Rio Grande. This is much more than a fun field trip; it's a chance to learn. The students discover the many challenges faced by the Rio Grande. From human demand for its water, to non-native water sucking trees, to a decline in fish species, the many pressures on the river continue. But as the students find out, work is being done to help the restore the once mighty Rio Grande.
 
Parks & Wildlife People: Cecilia Nasti
She is often heard but seldom seen. Cecilia Nasti is the host and producer of the Passport to Texas radio show belting out 20 shows a month on every topic under the Texas Parks and Wildlife sun. Recently she has taken on one of her favorite subjects, organic food, and promoted wild game cooking segments to PBS and YouTube. 

The Boat Builder
Houston architect Skip Johnson's hobby is both a craft and an art. Skip builds wooden kayaks that would be right at home in an art gallery, but are built for the water. Follow along as Skip designs, builds, and finally paddles his latest creation, the 'Bionic Log'.
