annual Texas Wildlife and Woodland Expo and Spring Fling on Saturday, April 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Lone Star College-Montgomery. This free event is fun for the whole family.
“The Texas Wildlife and Woodland Expo and Spring Fling is one of the premiere family-friendly events held in the county,” says Caroline Cruz of Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service. “It is a unique experience for everyone to connect to nature, learn something new and have a fun outdoor adventure on LSC-Montgomery’s campus.”
Children’s
imaginations can run wild in the Kids Adventure Zone! Kids can test their
archery skills, learn to kayak, hold slithery snakes, and pet furry animals!
Plus, if your child is involved in Boy Scouts, they will have the opportunity
to earn exclusive merit badges in soil and water conservation, and forestry! Girl
Scouts and American Heritage Girls will also have the chance to work on scouting
badge requirements. Smokey the Bear and Monty the Maverick will also be on hand
to get pictures taken with the whole family!
There are
activities for all ages to learn, explore and discover more about the
environment. Attendees can take home free trees and seedlings! Experts will be
on hand to answer questions on a variety of topics ranging from what to plant
to attract birds to how to select the right tree for the right spot.
“The goal
of the Texas Wildlife and Woodland Expo and Spring Fling is to create a
one-stop shop venue of conservation educational experience for children and
those that are still young enough at heart to enjoy what the great outdoors has
to offer,” says Sylvia Reyna Wiggins, program coordinator at the Montgomery
County Beautification Association.
