Get to know your wild neighbors
Monday, November 9, 2020 by Tai Moses
Central Texas isn’t just an appealing place for humans; a wide array of wild creatures also calls it home. Balcones Canyonlands Preserve has invited Kelly Simon, an urban wildlife biologist with Texas Parks and Wildlife, to give a webinar talk titled “Animals of the Wildland-Urban Interface.” In addition to describing the rich diversity of urban wildlife, Simon will reveal how we can create more welcoming habitat for other critters and how different species contribute to a healthy, functioning ecosystem. Friday, Nov. 20, noon-1 p.m. Register to attend here. If you can’t attend the online event, a recording of the webinar will be posted on the Austin Water Wildland Conservation Facebook page and YouTube channel afterward.
