Happy Texas Arbor Day! |
|
Arbor Day Tree PlantingTexas Arbor Day, established in 2013, is celebrated on the first Friday of each November. Texas trees are planted in fall, as opposed to national Arbor Day in April, since temperature and rainfall conditions in Texas are not suitable for young trees at that time. Join us on November 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Eco Hub to plant five fruit trees at the Luna Farm orchard. |

Lights Out, Texas & Bird Strike SurveyEach fall, approximately 1 of every 4 birds migrating through the U.S., or nearly two billion birds, passes through Texas. During this great migration, the majority of birds travel at night and lights emanating from cities can disorient birds with between one hundred million and one billion birds dying each year in collisions with manmade structures. Currently, we are gathering data of any bird strikes on campus to better understand any impact of campus buildings. If you observe any bird strikes, please submit photos and location information through the Bird Strike Survey. |
