Ranger in the Roughs- Bring the family, sit at our amphitheater under the night sky and learn about the ecosystems of the Colorado River. This series will look at the varying natural resources, plants and wildlife of the different eco-regions along the Colorado River as it winds its way from the Panhandle Plains, through the Texas Hill Country, to the Gulf Coast. Our naturalist will focus on the history, composition and ecology of one particular region each month. Program will be held indoors during inclement weather. Registration is not required.
