Planting Pines, Texas Quail & Trinity Paddling
Lone Star Land Steward: Greg Grant
Deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas, you’ll meet a tree hugger that does things a bit different. Greg Grant has restored his family land, working hard to create pine savannahs, and pine forests. Now that they are established he’s been killing his pine trees ever since.
The State of Quail
Texas has long been known for its robust quail populations, but habitat loss has impacted all four quail species in the state. Though their homes range from desert floodplain and brush land to prairie grasslands, these quail species need native habitat to thrive. Find out how researchers, non-profits, and landowners and managers are working together to keep quail numbers healthy statewide.
Lake Arrowhead State Park
Close to the Red River in both location and hue, this North Texas park offers family fun and fine fishing.
Traversing the Trinity
Grab a paddle and hit the river, wherever you live there is a paddling trail nearby. For folks in Dallas there’s one right in the heart of the city. The Dallas Trinity Paddling Trail is 10.2 miles of unexpected fun.
