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.
Visiting exhibit features talking animatronic members of the Bug Squad. Guests will learn about each of their superhero stories, super abilities and the unique traits they use each day.
Families are invited to explore various science topics and gain an appreciation for diversity through hands-on exhibits and play areas. Get some air on a trampoline and jump like a grasshopper, explore a multi-platform ant colony climber, and even play with color to mix and design your own wing pattern.

Speaker Brandon Belcher, North Texas Preserves Manager for The Nature Conservancy, will discuss the slow process of restoring grassland ecosystems in North Texas. The rebuilding of lost ecosystems takes time but reminds us of the benefits of locally adapted native plants. The presentation will touch on the importance of supporting local wildlife, drought tolerant plants, and sourcing plants adapted to our specific climate, as well as techniques, lessons, and other restoration considerations.
