How far did longleaf pine forests once reach across the southern U.S.? Further than 68 million football fields lined up back to back! Today, only 5% remain. Our Roy E. Larsen Sandyland Sanctuary plays an important role in their preservation. Visit the piney woods: https://nature.ly/4dYfsX8 📸: R.J. Hinkle

Lights Out, Texas! Did you know 1 out of every 3 birds migrating through the U.S. passes through Texas? Most migratory birds fly at night, meaning the bright lights of commercial and residential buildings attract and disorient birds. This distraction can cause collisions and leave birds vulnerable to threats on the ground. Take action to protect migrating birds by turning out all non-essential lights outside and inside from 11:00 PM - 6:00 AM from August 15 – November 30, and especially during peak migration from September 5 – October 29.

We had an epic time hosting this year's West Texas Women in Conservation Retreat at our Davis Mountains Preserve. Cheers to the next generation of conservationists!
NRI research specialist Dr. Sarah Turner recently helped lead the 2024 West Texas Women in Conservation Retreat, hosted by The Nature Conservancy in Texas at the Davis Mountains Preserve. This is a 5 day hands-on conservation camp for undergraduate women interested in natural resources. Topics included botany (led by Dr. Turner), mist netting, field skills, fire and forestry, landowner communication, and more. This was a great week full of mentorship and field learning opportunities! #WomenInSTEM #conservation
