Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

The outdoors has a friend in the weekly Texas Parks and 
Wildlife television series, which airs on PBS affiliates 
statewide.

Primarily what we're trying to do with the show is to really 
showcase what Texas Parks and Wildlife is involved in all around 
the state. :07

Richard Roberts is the show's executive producer. He and 
his staff turn the camera on those whose job it is to 
protect and manage the state's vast natural and cultural 
resources.

Doing this program, we go out and talk to a biologist who's out 
there doing wildlife surveys, or game wardens enforcing 
conservation laws; they're so into what they're doing. They're 
so glad to be doing it. And they're so glad somebody else is 
interested in what they're doing. It's just a situation where 
everybody is really dedicated to what they're doing, and having 
a good time doing it, and then we just show that off to 
everybody else. :19

Whether it's the high plains, Rio Grande Valley, the 
mountains, or Gulf coast - there's a lot of Texas to show 
off.

There're so many things that Texas Parks and Wildlife is 
involved in, it's just a great opportunity for us to be able to do a 
TV show based around this. :06

A schedule of upcoming Texas parks and Wildlife TV 
shows is available on the TPWD website. Also consult 
your local listings for stations, days and times.

That's our show for today ... thank you for joining us ... for 
Texas Parks and Wildlife ... I'm Cecilia Nasti.
