Come explore the birds and plants that are found in our native grasslands on this field trip.  Whether you are interested in bird identification, discovering which ones are found in prairie habitats, or simply wanting to enjoy the spring, this is a good opportunity to hear from experts in the field.
 With his position at the American Bird Conservancy, Jim Giocomo is coordinating the Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture, which is responsible for landscape scale conservation planning and implementation in the Blackland Prairie, Post oak Savannah, Edwards Plateau, and Cross Timbers.  Suzanne Tuttle is the Fort Worth Nature Center director and a plant ecologist. 
 This field trip will be a mix of on trail and off trail hiking and the ground may be bumpy and uneven.  This hike is intended for humans over 12 years of age with those under 18 being accompanied by a parent.  Participants should bring water, binoculars, snacks, and anything they need to be comfortable in the field. 
 This trip is limited to 20 individuals.  To reserve your space and receive driving directions, please email Daniel Dietz at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or call 512-731-2517.
