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.

Friends of Sheri Capehart Nature Center: Mindfulness & Nature Journaling - Arlington

Aug 24 2024 - 8:00am to 9:30am
Sheri Capehart Nature Preserve
5201 Bowman Springs Road
Arlington , TX

The walk is designed for adults and older children (older than 10). While discussing and practicing mindfulness, we will walk to a couple of locations within the preserve.

We can then take a little time to reflect on what is around us and within us, writing or drawing in a nature journal. Doing this helps us organize our thoughts, adds to our self-understanding, and may benefit our mental wellness in other ways. Bring a notebook and pen and/or pencil!

The event will end by 9:30am. Please check back to see how the weather is shaping up that day. We'll reschedule if there are storms.

The walk leader is Michael Smith, an author, naturalist, and retired mental health professional. (This event is for nature appreciation and wellness and is not therapy.)
