Gift Ideas for a Naturalist

Shopping for a naturalist is not really difficult. 

Anything supporting a national park or state park would be welcomed. New hiking boots or Trek poles would be helpful since the hills keep getting steeper. Binoculars or one of those Camera lenses for a cellphone would help them to capture images that they love. Seed collecting bags, a Seed collection box or a Flower press could help them preserve beauty. A Watercolor box paint set and sketchbook could also be fun! 

Have you seen the Butterfly puddling stones?  Combine with Native plants and seeds for creating their own oasis for wildlife. Field books and foraging books would make your bibliophile smile. 

Don’t forget our Texas Master naturalist shirts/ merch would always be fantastic!

   But ~ if you want to get the biggest smile and the warmest feelings this holiday season ~ all you have to do is say

   “ Let’s go for a walk…”

Bob Bryant Pollinator Prairie

In partnership with Pollinators for Texas, sponsored by H-E-B Our Texas Our Future, we aim to create a 3-acre native prairie within Bob Bryant Park that serves as a pollinator habitat, an educational resource, and a space for community enjoyment in Bastrop, Texas.

Visit our project page for more information.
