This is Passport to Texas
You’ll find interesting people with interesting jobs at Texas Parks and Wildlife. And you’ll meet some, too, this month on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Television Series. Series Producer, Don Cash.
59—In February we’re going to introduce you to several people and their odd jobs—I guess. One of those people is Amy Treuer-Kuehn; she’s a plant ecologist, and she travels around the state looking at vegetation and habitat and getting record of it and letting people know what’s there on the property.
Amy goes out and tells us what’s exactly on the ground. Her expertise in botany and plant ecology makes sure that we have a really good dataset.
Also in February, meet Billy Tarrant, who is a wildlife biologist. And he works in the Trans-Pecos region. And one of the projects he works on is pronghorn antelope.
There’s a huge amount of responsibility trying to manage some of the greatest diversity in our state. However, there’s an immense amount of satisfaction knowing that you’re doing it.
So, yeah, part of what we do on the television show is people stories. There’s a lot of interesting people with some unusual jobs at Texas parks and Wildlife, and we hope people will watch in February and see what we’ve got going on.
Thanks, Don.
