Falkner's Island Day
Friday, April 14, 9:00am - 3:30pm

We are headed back to Falkner's Island this spring! This island, part of the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, is normally closed to the public and serves as a sanctuary for birds--a hotspot for thousands of common terns. We will join the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service staffing the island to restore native habitat and remove invasive plants. 

Rain Date: TBD

Space is limited! Please use this Eventbrite link to RSVP.
