Journal Entry #8: 4/10 Fort Worth Nature Center

  Journal Entry # 7 4/10 Trip to Fort Worth Nature Center       Today, we had the chance to explore a new trail at the Fort Worth Nature Center, the Prairie Trail. This scenic loop offered views of green trees, wildflowers, and even a view of the prairie dogs in their habitat.      Seeing the prairie dog area was especially meaningful, as we remembered hearing about the Nature Center’s plans to introduce them during one of our earlier visits. Since then, the staff has made great progress. They traveled to collect the prairie dogs, kept them in quarantine, and recently placed them in cages on-site. The idea is for the prairie dogs to gradually burrow their way out and establish their own space. It was fascinating to watch their behavior and movement within the individual cages. Once they settle in and the population grows, it will be an exciting and enriching feature of the Prairie Trail.     Beyond the prairie dogs, the trail had so much...

Journal Entry #7: Canoeing at the Fort Worth Nature Center!

   Journal Entry #7 Canoeing at the Fort Worth Nature Center      I was really excited for the chance to hit the water on the canoes at the Fort Worth Nature Center. During the trip, we spotted some wildlife, soaked up some sunshine, breathed in the fresh air, and tested our canoeing skills. Overall, I thought canoeing was the perfect way to kick off my Saturday morning—enjoying the outdoors with great company.     Some of my favorite sightings out on the water were the turtles and the alligators. As we passed by a variety of tree stumps in the water you could see many turtles laying out - trying to catch as much sun as they could. It appeared as though on any stump there was always at least two turtles, and it was fun seeing they always seemed to have a companion. Another cool spotting was the alligators. I was not expecting to see any while we were canoeing, so it was kind of a surprise. Thankfully, after our time catching an alligator at one of our ...

Journal Entry #1: 2/13 Fort Worth Nature Center

       Journal Entry #1 2/13 Trip to Fort Worth Nature Center          Today marked the first day at the Fort Worth Nature Center and we got to see everything that we had discussed in the classroom come into fruition in real life. My favorite part of the whole day was getting to see all of the animals and wildlife they had on the premises, including the alligator. I honestly never thought I would get to say that I have held an alligator and so I found that really awesome. The bison and prairie dogs were also astonishing and I was shocked as to how close we could get to the bison. While I did find myself questioning the strength of the wire fence that was separating us, I found the experience so cool and was able to snap some good pictures. In addition to seeing the bison, we also got to feed the prairie dogs. We got to walk around and leave a pile of food outside each of the burrows (I will admit I found my self craving some sweet potatoes - ...
