The Hagerman NWR Chapter Field Trip

Patricia Crain, Class of 2018

Eighteen Blackland Prairie Master Naturalists enjoyed a day of AT including an Early Bird Walk with Jack Chiles, BMN and Ornithologist Wayne Meyer. After the bird walk, they attended a Second Saturday presentation about Shrews with Dr. Bryon Clark, a Butterfly Garden Walk hosted by Friends of Hagerman NWR Garden docents including BPTMN members Cindy Steele, Cathy Van Bebber, Pamela Flaming and Nana Rylander. The day continued with a picnic in the pavilion and a presentation about Hagerman with Cathy Van Bebber. Unfortunately, the scheduled tram tour of the refuge was cancelled due to flooding.

Several recent BPTMN transfers received their recertification pins at the event, including Cindy Steele and Cathy Van Bebber (pictured, right) and Patricia Crain (not pictured).

Approved AT Early Bird Walks and nature presentations are held nearly every Second Saturday of the month, and tram tours of the refuge are available every weekend, weather permitting. Details of these events and more can be found in the monthly Friends of Hagerman NWR Featherless Flyer
