really that sounds much bigger than it was! There was registration and we are officially known as ...
THOMPSON TREKKERS!!!
WE got to visit some of the booths and get a few of the challenges.
We need to download the rest from the website-- if you would like to join in go sign up at The Houston Nature Challenge- click on Bayou Region
There are 14 MISSIONS this year- although in a few places they have more than ONE thing to complete.
The Missions
Armand Bayou Nature Center’s Bison Mission
Big Thicket National Preserve
Hermann Park Conservancy
Houston Arboretum and Nature Center
Houston Audubon Society
Houston Audubon’s Sims Bayou Urban Nature Center
Houston Zoo
Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center
Matagorda Bay Nature Park
Missouri City Parks & Recreation
Sea Center Texas
Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center
Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center
W.G. Jones State Forest – The Nature of Things
Some people do big scrap books and stuff to log all their missions, we are just going to do a note booking page for any that we complete. It is fun, it gets you outside DOING, and takes you to places you might not go otherwise. It is free minus the gas to drive and occasionally an entrance fee to a park.
