Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife

If you haven't seen the Texas Parks and Wildlife television 
series, you're missing out. The show's Executive Producer, 
Richard Roberts, says the program scheduled the week of 
May 7 is a prime example of the series' diverse offerings.

That program encapsulates the diversity of what's going on with 
Texas Parks and Wildlife. We did a story about the CCC and 
their involvement in state parks. We do a little short segment in 
the series called Outdoor Info, and that week we're talking 
about how to pick out a tent; so depending on what type of 
camping you're doing, we can direct you to the right type of 
tent. There's a little state park profile in there about Bentsen Rio 
Grande valley State Park, one of the sites of the World Birding 
Center, down in the valley. We also profile a very interesting 
guy, Gerald Stewart, who has a business where he produces and 
sells animal calling tapes. So, it's just fascinating watching this 
guy who spent his whole life basically getting as close to 
wildlife as possible, calling them in to within just feet of him, at 
times. So that's a neat story. We end every program with a little 
series called postcards from Texas, which we really sort of 
based on the CBS Sunday Morning show where it's sort of a 
little breather at the end of the show where we highlight thirty 
seconds or so of great wildlife shots from around the state. Just 
showing off the natural beauty of Texas. :56
