Texas Parks & Wildlife PBS Show #2310
December 21-27, 2014

Home Again  
Desert Bighorn Sheep used to roam freely in west Texas.  By 1950 they had been wiped out by indiscriminate shooting and diseases spread by domestic sheep.  During the 1960’s and 70’s TPWD began to restore the population of desert bighorns to west Texas.  The program has been such a success and the population has grown to such numbers that in 2011 about 30 desert bighorns were released on public land at Big Bend Ranch State Park.  For the first time since 1950 anyone willing to make a hike in the desert has the chance again of spotting one of these majestic animals in its natural environment.

Cedar Hill Bike Trails
Just minutes away from Dallas, Cedar Hill State Park has a set of trails fit for all levels of mountain bikers.  One reason riders find the trails so bike-friendly is the cyclists themselves build and maintain them.

Parks & Wildlife People: Coastal Fisheries Restoration Team
This team of Coastal Fisheries experts, along with numerous partners, preserved or created over 12,500 acres of coastal habitats, reclaimed over 4,000 acres of oyster reefs and protected over 12 miles of shoreline, leveraging funds from multiple sources to do it all.

Fishing Lures
Meet one man who collects antique fishing lures, and another who makes new ones. Discover the evolution of the fishing lure, from bone to plastic and several incarnations in between.

Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site
The Lyndon Baines Johnson State Park and Historic Site is all about history, from the visitor center honoring our country’s thirty-sixth president … to a living-history farm depicting life on the farmstead as it was back in 1918, when President Johnson was a young boy.
