TPW TV–A New Season

Monday, October 24th, 2011

This is Passport to Texas

Nature, outdoor recreation, and the caretakers of our natural resources all get air time on the new season of the Texas Parks and Wildlife television series, which premiers the week of October 23. Series Producer, Don Cash.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife television show has been on the air in one form or another since 1985. Our producers are always working on a number of stories at one time. They may produce a story in three months, and it may take them two years to produce a story. We are on all the PBS stations in the state of Texas, and we also air outside of the state.

What do you think the interest is in other states about the Texas outdoors?

I think people from other states just find Texas interesting. We’ve got a huge amount of different topography, wildlife, and people where in Texas. And one of the things I think people like about our show is our stories are about people that take care of the resources of the state of Texas.

And, Don, personally—what does it mean to you to be a part of this show?

Well, what I tell people is my job is to try and get people to go hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, or bird watching. You know, if you’ve got to work for a living, that’s a pretty good thing to do.

Thanks, Don.
