    4 Year Work Plan by District for FYs 2015 - 2018 Overview Section §201.998 of the Transportation code requires that a Department Work Program report be provided to the Legislature.

Covers four-year period and contains all projects that the district proposes to implement during that period. Includes progress report on major transportation projects and other district projects. Per 43 Texas Administrative Code Chapter 16 Subchapter C rule §16.106, a major transportation project is the planning, engineering, right of way acquisition, expansion, improvement, addition, or contract maintenance, other than the routine or contracted routine maintenance, of a bridge, highway, toll road, or toll road system on the state highway system that fulfills or satisfies a particular need, concern, or strategy of the department in meeting the transportation goals established under §16.105 of this subchapter (relating to Unified Transportation Program (UTP)).

    LONE STAR STATE Stargazing

    LONE STAR STATE Stargazing IndependenceTitle.com Keep Your Eyes to the Sky! These are some of the best places to stargaze in Texas Big Bend National Park Big Bend National Park is not only Texas’s most famous park— it is also known as one of the most outstanding places in North America for star gazing. Thanks to the sparse human occupation of this region, it has the least light pollution of any other National Park unit in the lower 48 states. This can be a real surprise to visitors when they are outside in Big Bend at night and see the Milky Way in its full glory for perhaps the first time in their life. Needless to say, you can stargaze just about anywhere in Big Bend, but there are a few spots you might want to consider. If you’re an admirer of astronomy, bring your telescope to the Marathon Sky Park. You can also see the stars from the stargazing platform atop Eve’s Garden Bed and Breakfast in Marathon. Brazos Bend State Park Located an hour outside of Houston, Brazos Bend State Park is a great place for any astronomical enthusiast. Not only is it far removed from the light pollution of the Lone Star State’s biggest city, it’s home to the George Observatory, where visitors can view planetary objects up close and personal. LONE STAR STATE Caprock Canyons State Park Home to the only wild bison herd in the state of Texas, Caprock Canyon State Park in the Texas panhandle has stunning views of constellations.

    Consumer Plannlng Section Comprehensive Plannlng Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Austin, Texas Texans Outdoors: An Analysis of 1985 Participation in Outdoor Recreation Activities By Kathryn N. Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents.

    The Spoonbill, September 2020

    The Spoonbill A Publication of the Ornithology Group Of the Houston Outdoor Nature Club September 2020 Welcome to the beginning of our Fall activities! Although Bayland Community Center has reopened, in an abundance of caution, we will once again use the Zoom online platform for our Sept 14 meeting. A Zoom account is not required if you are only joining Zoom Meetings as a participant. You can participate using a computer, tablet, or cell phone. Join Zoom Meeting: https://utexas.zoom.us/j/93965127303 Meeting ID: 93965127303 The Zoom lobby will open at 6:45pm for check-in, and the meeting will begin at 7:00pm. The program, “The Pandemic Birding Boom: Opportunities in the Time of Covid-19," will be given by Megan Ahlgren, Harris County Naturalist at Kleb Woods/John Paul Landing The pandemic brought a surge of interest in birds and nature as people spent more time at home and in their local parks. Birding has proven to be a great social distancing activity (see photo), although restrictions have caused many of us to change how and where we bird. But between spending more time with your local area birds and an ever-growing number of virtual offerings, there are still plenty of opportunities to grow as a birder during this time. September Trivia Q: What is the most common wild bird in the world? (Answer is at the very end) 2020 Membership If you have not yet renewed your 2020 membership, please do so. The ONC/OG has continuing expenses for our website, Zoom, speakers, yearbook printing, and maintenance of the Little Thicket Nature Sanctuary.
