PBS Nature Series Returns for 43rd Season

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department anticipates an exceptional white-tailed deer season this fall due to favorable habitat conditions across much of the state, which are critical for antler growth. The mild winter and timely spring rains have contributed to the health of deer, allowing for better nutritional intake for antlers. In the natural world, autumn marks a transition with shorter days leading to trees storing nutrients and animals, including birds and mammals, preparing for winter by gaining weight. Meanwhile, students from Encampment's kindergarten through third grade engaged in a field trip at Lewis Lake, combining art and science through environmental projects and exploration. PBS's 'NATURE' series is set to premiere new documentaries focusing on wildlife survival strategies, including efforts to protect endangered species and the interconnectedness of urban biodiversity. The upcoming season will highlight the work of renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough, showcasing his lifelong dedication to wildlife conservation.
