Wild About Texas offers Texas Parks & Wildlife's weekly, half-hour program that airs on PBS stations throughout the state, as well as in a number of other public television markets around the country.
Each week, the program travels to several different destinations around the state. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from in-depth issues about conservation and the environment, to fun family activities in the outdoors. One week, you’ll see how wildlife biologists are working with private landowners to answer questions about quail, and find out why Austin is known as the ‘Bat Capital of the World.’ The next week you’ll raft the Rio Grande with some inquisitive students, and find out what it takes to become a Texas Game Warden. Water is an increasingly important issue in Texas, and this season the program takes an in-depth look at how our rivers are faring in the face of increased pressures.
Texas Parks and Wildlife wants their stories to inspire you to get outdoors and visit the natural places in our state. They want to provide a compelling reason for you to care about your outdoor and cultural heritage. Maybe you’ll even get involved and help preserve a piece of that heritage.
Returning this year is a segment called “Wild Things”. Outdoor Learning Programs instructor Ann Miller will present interesting and obscure facts about some of our native Texas animals. The "Outdoor Info” segments offer all kinds of handy tips; information on shooting scopes for hunters and spotting scopes for birders, how to pick out hiking boots, and the proper catch and release techniques for fish. Every show will continue to feature our state parks and historic sites. And of course, each week TPWD will present their award-winning stories about the people and places that make the Texas outdoors the natural place to be. We hope you’ll join us.
