Join a USFWS Bird Walk for naturalists of all ages who want hands-on education about North Texas birds. 

The birders will meet on Fridays or Saturdays at 8:45 a.m. and begin walking at 9 a.m.. We will be birding for about an hour. Locations will be in DFW, and emailed out prior to meeting. Small groups or families can also bird by appointment. 

Children 18 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. All participants must wear a mask. We will be social distancing. Bring water and snacks, if needed. 

Bring bug spray, sunscreen, and a pencil if you would like. We will provide some binoculars, but if you have your own that’s great! A smartphone or camera is also very useful for birding.

Texan by Nature's Virtual Conversation Series continues.

The December topic is Collaborative Conservation. Collaboration produces better results — more innovative solutions, deeply engaged team members, higher loyalty and morale. Research shows that teams working collaboratively stick to the task 64 percent longer than those in solitary endeavors, report higher engagement levels, cite lower fatigue levels, and have a higher success rate. Collaborative conservation spanning business, landowners, communities, and natural resource organizations yield similar positive results.

Christian Hagenlocher will present Exploring Attu, a virtual field trip to Alaska’s outermost Aleutian Island. Hagenlocher will present a virtual field trip to far Attu, at the tip of Alaska's Aleutian Islands. If you have missed traveling or have always wanted to go to there, this is the travelogue for you. Attu has long held a special place in birding history, and though it's not as easy to get there as it used to be, the potential for amazing birding stories still exists.

Due to COVID-19, we've rescheduled the bus tour to June 5, 2021.

Escape the city heat for a day as you ride a luxury bus through the prairies of Wise, Cooke & Montague Counties known as the North Texas Hill Country. Our prairie experts will narrate the tour, with a stop at LBJ National Grasslands to take a look at the intersection between Western Cross Timbers savanna & Fort Worth Prairie. From there, we'll head north through the hills & valleys to quench our thirst at 4R Vinyards & Winery in Cooke County. After wine, cheese & an amazing view overlooking the Red River Valley, we’ll top off the evening with a stop on the historic Saint Jo square for your choice of shopping, dinner, & the gallery exhibition of 'Women of the West' at the Davis & Blevins Gallery. Bus departs/returns at TCC-NW campus in Fort Worth.
