Texas Parks and Wildlife Program Preview

Featured Segments

  • Chicken Land — Here in Texas, the Lesser Prairie Chicken’s numbers have declined as its’ historic range has dwindled to almost nothing. Since most of these birds live on private lands, wildlife biologists are counting on private landowners to help restore the habitat, and hopefully save the bird.
  • Balancing Act — Todd Imboden is a true homegrown product of Texas Parks & Wildlife, starting with the department when he was just out of his teens. From his humble beginnings as a janitor some 25 years ago, he now heads up Palmetto State Park, a jewel in the Texas State Park System. We’ll spend a few days with this super superintendent as he juggles his time between work and family.
  • Lone Star Land Steward: Ewing Mound — Deep in the Pineywoods of east Texas, Ewing Mound is managed primarily for pine timber. Wildlife goals for the property include producing quality white-tailed deer, reducing feral hogs, enhancing habitat for eastern wild turkey, and managing a small population of bobwhite quail.
  • Lake Arrowhead State Park — Close to the Red River in both location and hue, this North Texas lake offers family fun and fine fishing.
  • Postcard From Texas — Experience a sunset and moonrise on Lake Brownwood.
