Join the TX League of Conservation Voters at the Texas Capitol steps for a rally against the Governor’s divisive agenda and speak up for local tree ordinances on Tuesday, July 18, 2017, at 1:00 PM on the State Capitol’s front steps. There are very real issues facing everyday Texans, especially when it comes to the environment—none of those issues are going to be addressed this Special Session. Students will still be at risk of drinking contaminated water in schools, clean air regulations will continue to be inadequate and conservation efforts will remain unfinished. Texans deserve better.
If you can’t make it to the rally, participate online by using their hashtag, #ISpeakForTheTree or donate $5 to help amplify their cause here.
Mammals – Friend or Fur?
What do mice, whales and humans have in common? We are all mammals! Come and learn more about this diverse and fascinating group of creatures and get to know some of the special mammals that live right here in Texas. We’ll discover the wonders of fur, test our acute mammal sense of smell and see just what the mammals have that allowed them to survive the great extinction that ended the age of dinosaurs.
