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.
Laura Miller approaches each place she visits with a sense of wonder, excited by what she can learn and apply to her life. Earlier this year she attended the International Plant Propagators’ Society Annual Conference in South Africa, and she will bring that wonder and fresh insights to her presentation at ACC’s November meeting. She will focus on South Africa’s climate and plant communities and their similarities to our North Central Texas ecosystems.
