Happy World Turtle Day! 🐢 Did you know that sea turtles nest right here on Bolivar and Galveston? The Kemp's ridley sea turtle is just one of them - it's the smallest and most endangered sea turtle in the world! Be sure to report any sea turtle sightings (including tracks or nests) to TIRN at 1-866-TURTLE-5. Help sea turtles, birds, and other wildlife by keeping our Texas beaches clean. Huge thanks to the Turtle Island Restoration Network (TIRN) for their dedication. 📷 Kemp's ridley sea turtle / National Park Service (fb)

Calling all community scientists! It's time for the annual Red-vented Bulbul survey. Hosted by Harris County Precinct 4 and Houston Audubon, participants will split into teams to survey around the Houston area for Red-vented Bulbuls. The Red-vented Bulbul is an invasive species, and is known to disperse non-native seeds from other plants that can be harmful to our native plants and animals in the environment. This survey helps us better understand how their population is changing and where they are moving. Help us count them on Saturday, June 7th from 7am - 9am.
