  • 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.

  • Trip from Texas to Colorado - Spring 2006 by Sylvia R
    Trip from Texas to Colorado - Spring 2006 by Sylvia R. Gallagher Part 3 Sun., April 9, 2006 Goose Island State Park, north of Rockport, TX No entry. 9:15 p.m., Mon., April 10, 2006 Goose Island State Park, TX We didn't get away from Adolph Thomae Park until around 11:00. We stopped for lunch in Raymondville and got here around 4:00. The drive was tedious, mostly through the King Ranch, then through various agricultural areas and the outskirts of generic-looking towns. We were thrilled to discover that our favorite site, #103, was available. They'd only let us take it for two nights, pending reservations that might kick us out. We had to come back this morning to find out. Then they let us have it through Wed. night, which was what we wanted. I really don't understand their system, and I don't think they do either, for it seems to be interpreted differently at every state park. When we drove to the site, we found the people who had been there the night before had not left yet, despite the 2:00 checkout time. They said they'd be out in ten minutes, so we drove out to the waterfront area to see if there were any shorebirds. There weren't, but the tide was pretty high and the place had seen hordes of Sunday visitors. A flamingo, supposedly countable, has been in Copano Bay, and someone told us it could be seen from the tour boats. When I looked in the office at the notebook of interesting bird sightings, I discovered it had been seen from the fishing pier a few days ago.

The user has requested enhancement of the downloaded file. Chapter 6: The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes The Gulf Coastal Prairies and Marshes include approximately ten million acres of coastal plain, 20 to 80 miles in width, and barrier islands adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico. Soils are primarily clays and clay loams with some acidic sands and sandy loams; wetlands occur frequently in areas of poorly drained clay soils or sand over impermeable subsoils (Carter 1931). Prairie and marsh grasses were the dominant vegetation in most of the region prior to Anglo-European settlement and cultivation. However, as average annual rainfall diminishes to the south (from 40 inches at Victoria to 25 inches at Brownsville), marshes become much less extensive and brush communities become important on upland sites (Tharp 1939). Like other former grassland areas on clay soils in Texas, the Gulf Coastal Prairies are well-suited to agriculture (except for areas of drift sand); farming, cattle ranching, and urban and industrial development have transformed the region. Of the estimated one million acres of coastal marsh existing in 1950, at least 35 percent has been displaced by urban and industrial development (Gould 1975, 64 FWS 1991).

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 22, 2016 Media contact: Lydia Saldaña 817.851.5729 [email protected] Philanthropic Grants Enhance State Parks across Texas Thanks to a competitive grant opportunity made possible by funding from the Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation, 17 state parks across Texas will soon be providing enhanced visitor experiences or improved habitat to benefit wildlife. Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation (TPWF) matched the funding, providing a total of more than $52,000 for projects across the state. The winning grants will fund efforts ranging from a monarch butterfly project at Brazos Bend State Park, to restoring a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) pavilion at Garner State Park, to a shower for sand removal at Monahans Sandhills State Park. All the projects are aimed at providing a higher quality visit for state park visitors. Engaging volunteer labor to provide a match for the requested funds is one criteria of the competitive grant. “Projects that make the outdoors a better place to be is a priority for us,” said Adelaide Leavens, president of Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation in Fort Worth. “We’re pleased to support these outstanding projects at state parks across Texas, and we’re thrilled to see these dollars leveraged by Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and fueled by volunteer support.” The projects that are funded in the 2016 grant cycle are: STATE PARK COUNTY PROJECT AMOUNT Blanco Blanco Wildlife viewing station $5,000 Brazos Bend Fort Bend Monarch butterfly project $2,500 Cleburne Johnson Fish habitat enhancement

    a report from ENVIRONMENT TEXAS H o n e H EXECUTIVE SUMMARY You can’t count the many ways that state parks make life better here in Texas. They protect the clean water that we depend on. They provide a home for some of Texas’ most wondrous wildlife. The beautiful natural scenery of our parks provides a backdrop for some of the most amazing hikes you can imagine. And the breadth and range of those parks gives people all across Texas untold opportunities for fishing, swimming, camping and other recreational activities. Unfortunately, our parks system is in a state of crisis. Rampant disrepair and staff shortages due to years of budget cuts hinder the parks’ ability to protect the resources they house. In addition, the Legislature has failed to appropriate funds to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to invest for the future by acquiring new park lands. With Texas’ population expected to double in the next few decades, demand will grow for access to parks and more of our treasured natural areas will be threatened by encroaching development. Polling done by Texas Tech University found that Texans “are becoming increasingly frustrated about the lack of access to lands to experience nature.” Already, urban and suburban development is encroaching on treasured natural landscapes. The effects of population growth will be strongest in Texas’s largest cities. While the state of Texas maintains sizable parks in west Texas and other parts of the state, our metropolitan areas are notably underserved. While the state currently averages about 52 acres of parkland per 1000 people, in the cities it is far worse.

    LITERATURE UPDATE FOR TEXAS FLESHY BASIDIOMYCOTA WITH NEW VOUCHERED RECORDS FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS David P. Lewis Clark L. Ovrebo N. Jay Justice 262 CR 3062 Department of Biology 16055 Michelle Drive Newton, Texas 75966, U.S.A. University of Central Oklahoma Alexander, Arkansas 72002, U.S.A. [email protected] Edmond, Oklahoma 73034, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT This is a second paper documenting the literature records for Texas fleshy basidiomycetous fungi and includes both older literature and recently published papers. We report 80 literature articles which include 14 new taxa described from Texas. We also report on 120 new records of fleshy basdiomycetous fungi collected primarily from southeast Texas. RESUMEN Este es un segundo artículo que documenta el registro de nuevas especies de hongos carnosos basidiomicetos, incluyendo artículos antiguos y recientes. Reportamos 80 artículos científicamente relacionados con estas especies que incluyen 14 taxones con holotipos en Texas. Así mismo, reportamos unos 120 nuevos registros de hongos carnosos basidiomicetos recolectados primordialmente en al sureste de Texas. PART I—MYCOLOGICAL LITERATURE ON TEXAS FLESHY BASIDIOMYCOTA Lewis and Ovrebo (2009) previously reported on literature for Texas fleshy Basidiomycota and also listed new vouchered records for Texas of that group. Presented here is an update to the listing which includes literature published since 2009 and also includes older references that we previously had not uncovered. The authors’ primary research interests center around gilled mushrooms and boletes so perhaps the list that follows is most complete for the fungi of these groups. We have, however, attempted to locate references for all fleshy basidio- mycetous fungi.
