NPSOT Fall Field Trip: Bear Creek Park

Title: NPSOT Fall Field Trip: Bear Creek Park
Location: Bear Creek Park on the west side of Houston
Description: Three field trips are scheduled for Fall 2010. All three trips will be on Sundays and led by Dr. Larry Brown.

Sunday,October 3: Bear Creek Park on the west side of Houston (approximately 17 miles from the Arboretum) will be our first outing. We were at Bear Creek Park in March of 2008 for the spring flowers. Now we will search the park for the fall flora. The park consists of 2,168 acres of floodplains and forests with trails, a zoo, picnic areas, sports facilities, and more.

Continue to use the parking lot 0.4 mile east of the Arboretum. (
For those new to the field trips, after leaving the Arboretum and heading east, take a right at the split in the road just before
the light and then immediately another right into the parking lot.)

Please wear appropriate footwear for walking through wet or dry fields, bring drinking water and bug spray. If the weather is drizzling rain, we proceed, but if it is a gully-washer, we still gather at the Arboretum and then cancel. We meet at the Arboretum between 8 and
8:30 AM, and depart promptly at 8:30 AM. Please contact Paul Roling for any additional inquiries: 281-353-7413 or PRoling@att.net.
