The Natural History of State Parks

AT: NGO Workshops and Programs on Wildlife Conservation and Land 

From the mountains and ancient volcanoes of west Texas to the limestones of Texas Hill Country and the prairies of the gulf coast, Texas is one of the most ecologically and geologically diverse states in the country. Nowhere can these natural treasures be better experienced than in Texas’s more than 70 state parks. Dr. Cin-Ty Lee, Rice University geologist and avid naturalist, brings the state parks of Texas to life in this course highlighting Brazos Bend, Garner, Big Bend Ranch, Galveston Island, Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley, Enchanted Rock and other iconic Texas parks. Whether you are planning your next outdoor adventure or simply want to deepen your knowledge of the natural wonders of Texas, join us to celebrate our extraordinary state parks.
