Lights Out Texas: Fall Migration Season - Texas (Aug. 15-Nov. 30)

Aug 15 2024 - 11:00pm to Nov 30 2024 - 6:00am

Statewide TX

Lights Out Texas organizers ask that residents, building managers and businesses turn off their outdoor lights from 11 p.m. till 6 a.m. from Aug. 15 to Nov. 30 to prevent bird deaths. Outdoor lighting distracts and confuses migrating birds who typically fly at night.

Peak fall migration season is Sept. 5 to Oct. 29.

Ever wonder what some of those commonly used horticultural terms really mean? Or witnessed an internet argument where you’re pretty sure people aren’t all defining a plant word the same way? This talk by Carol Clark seeks to demystify some of the words that get used, and used poorly. Understanding the meaning of horticultural terms can also affect your plant choices and inform your plant wish list. We’ll use familiar examples to illustrate the concepts.
