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."

As we continued down the trail, we enter into a forest like area surrounded by green trees which shaded our walking path. It was nice to have a break from the sun for a bit as it was pretty toasty outside. It was a beautiful day, and many of the pastures on the property were flooded with wildflowers.

    Thanks for posting about this trail. I always liked it because it's one of the longer trails and usually has little traffic. I will look forward to seeing you trail guide.

How Edward Abbey Helped Me Understand My Time at the Nature Center

At the beginning of the semester, I remember sitting in class wondering why Dr. Williams was showing us these obscure poems and passages from some random man named Edward Abbey. They felt dusty, like old postcards from a desert I’d never stepped foot in. Poems filled with foreign words and out of place thoughts and frustration at the modern world. I didn’t get it. I didn’t see the connection. But now, months later, after working at the nature center and spending time immersed in the quiet rhythms of the land, Abbey’s words have taken root in a different way. His love for wild places, his distrust of development, and his sharp, unapologetic tone all started to echo in my own realizations. I’ve walked the trails with kids, cleaned out habitats, and watched the way people interact with the natural world. Somewhere along the way, I stopped thinking about Abbey as a bitter outsider and started seeing him as someone who deeply cared so much that it hurt him to see nature overlooked or destr...

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...
