We want to notify everyone that we have had to change our Sept
5th date for the TERN Bird Nerd Series Workshops to Saturday,
September 12th 2015 from 9am-11am at the Texas City Prairie
Preserve (4702 Hwy 146 N Texas City Tx 77590)!
All else will be the same, however if you have registered
for the 5th and cannot make the 12th, please send an
email to TERN@audubon.org to have your
name removed. If you are available for Saturday Sept 12th date,
please follow this link and register as you normally would.
We apologize for the inconvenience! The following contains
more info on this workshop.
Amanda Hackney will be speaking on Coastal Conservation and
Habitat Management. We have had many fun and exciting days doing
restoration work on our rookery island and yet so many questions remain...
Why do we plant shrubs?
Why do we hate imported fire ants?
What do you guys do during a rookery island workday?
What kind of research is going on during the non-nesting season?
Can volunteers do anything to help bird conservation?
Come find out the nuts and bolts of rookery island management techniques! We’ll discuss the things we do to “get the nurseries ready” for the birds’ return in February and talk about plans for upcoming workdays.

islands are either accessible by boat or kayak for those interested.
