The commission approved more than $15.1 million from the MBCF to secure 4,886 acres for five national wildlife refuges, including two in Texas: Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge, $1,988,000 and San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, $1,690,900. This latest stamp features a Wood Duck with a background decoy, painted by Scot Storm, a native of Freeport, Minnesota. (Storm also had his pair of flying Redheads grace the 2004-2005 Federal stamp.) Each stamp today costs $25 with 98% of the funds collected going to habitat acquisition. Bring $25 cash or check to purchase your stamp at our September 5 Audubon meeting. For $2 more, you'll receive a plastic holder to display your Duck Stamp proudly on your binoculars or backpack to show you support bird habitat! The stamp also guarantees you free admission into any National Wildlife Refuge in the United States.The new stamp is good through June of 2020.

  • Your Kids Are Going to Love
    10 Places In San Antonio Your Kids Are Going to Love www.chicagotitlesa.com 1. Brackenridge Park This sprawling park has way more than just green space — it encompasses a stretch of the San Antonio River and includes the Japanese Tea Garden, the Sunken Garden Theater, the San Antonio Zoo as well as ball fields and pavilions. Older kids can run off some energy on nearby trails while parents eat a family picnic. Before you leave, don’t miss a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a miniature train that loops around pretty much the entire park. From its starting point right across from the zoo, it makes stops at a few different Brackenridge attractions, including the Witte Museum. 2. The DoSeum Since opening in 2015, The DoSeum has quickly become the go-to children’s museum in San Anto- nio — it’s full of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from toddlers to fifth graders — though adults will admittedly learn a thing or two as well. The museum’s displays run the gamut, from celebrating creative arts to tinkering with science and technology. Specific exhibits include the Big Outdoors, the Sensations Studio (where kids can experiment with light and sound), an innovation station, and the Spy Academy. 3. Six Flags Fiesta Texas Families looking for an adrenaline fix while still spending time together should hit up Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Not only does the park have some of the best roller coasters in Texas, including the Superman Krypton Virtual Reality Coaster, Iron Rattler, and Batman: The Ride (the world’s first 4D free-fly coaster, which just might be as terrifying as it sounds), but it has rides and attractions for the whole family, regardless of age, energy levels, and attention spans.

Foreward Table of Contents 1 PHIL HARDBERGER PARK CONSERVANCY & ALAMO AREA MASTER NATURALISTS FOREWARD ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The production of this Resource Guide to the Oak Loop Trail is a joint project of the Alamo Area Master Naturalist Leader- ship Team for the Fourth Saturday Events in Phil Hardberger Park , the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy, and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club Two key individuals with the Alamo Area Master Naturalists, Wendy Thornton, chair of the team, and Liz Robbins, presi- dent of the local chapter, were instrumental in leading, encouraging, supporting, and directing the effort. A large group of Master Naturalists was involved in the writing and editing process. I want to be sure to thank those who wrote multiple talking points; these contributors are Wendy Leonard, Jessica Leslie, and Christine Westerman. While many persons contributed to the editing, Jessica Leslie and Ron Tullius helped me in each picking up a third of the points to review editorial comments and finalize the pieces. But then, Ron Tullius did a superb job of re-editing the entire document. Ron improved tremendously the quality of the final product by catching so many spelling and grammar errors and suggesting many small improvements. The quality of the entire work was immeasurably enhanced by Ron’s careful work. Thank you so much, Ron.
