Exploring the Wilderness Past and Future

 Hello!

My name is Sara Gabriel (hence Sarafari), and I am a student in Urban Wilderness at Texas Christian University. I am so excited to explore the outdoors in the Fort Worth area this semester. I have had my fair share of outdoor experiences in Texas, but have yet to branch out in the Fort Worth area. I was born and raised in Galveston, Texas where I spent most of my days on the water fishing or engaging in water sports. I love to hike, hunt, run, scuba dive, swim, fish, and explore. As a child, my friends and I would spend most of our summers outside pretending to live on a remote island. We would harvest and dry seaweed and catch crab to eat. Being up in Fort Worth makes me miss the water more than anything.
Hopefully, this class will allow me to gain a deeper appreciation for the "Urban Wilderness."  I am so excited to help out at Fort Worth Nature Center this semester, and cannot wait to learn about the city from a unique perspective!

Crosstimbers

As Colin, Jenna, and I arrived at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, we were greeted by Dr. Williams's weekly candy surprise. As always, my group was the last to arrive; once we got inside the building, we immediately planned which trail would be traveled today. After looking at the trail map. my group decided to hike the "Crosstimbers" trail. Dr. Williams's stated this trail was one of his favorites, and he decided to join us! We began our trail guide with Chris doing his signature introduction, and then we were on our way. Jenna excelled in her role as the videographer as she worked the entire time to record important footage. While on the trail, I spotted an oddly colored fungus. I decided to use "Seek," a plant finder app, to identify what species I encountered. The fungus was termed "Southern Jack-o'-lantern." Southern Jack-o'-lantern As we continued down the trail, we enter into a forest like area surrounded by green trees which...

Dog, the Bison, and the Lumberjack

 Fort Worth Nature Center Visit One 2/13/2025 Meeting Dog for the first time was unexpected. I walked into the Fort Worth Nature Center building where I see a tiny alligator in the hands of my classmate. Luckily, Dog's mouth was taped shut because I think he would have bit off all of my fingers. I did not expect alligator skin to feel rough and structured. It was almost like a mix of snake and dinosaur skin on a creature.  The bison encounter was one of a kind. I thought bison were going to look ugly and mean, but they all looked like giant fluffy cows. I asked if I could pet the bison, but I guess they can be aggressive therefore petting is not allowed. We did get to feed the bison which allowed us to see this species up close. There were a bunch of female bison, but only one male. The male had a darker face compared to all the females. I am curious to see what a baby bison looks like! I wish I could adopt one.  Around half way through our time at the nature center, we b...
