🌿 Guided Exploration Hike: New Property at Lake Brownwood State Park
Join Ranger George for an exciting opportunity to explore the newest addition to Lake Brownwood State Park! This special guided hike lets visitors discover fresh trails and landscapes while learning about the area's rich flora and fauna. Participants will contribute to an ongoing iNaturalist project by cataloging observations, helping biologists and conservation efforts track wildlife, plants, fungi, and more.
📱 Hands-On Learning & Citizen Science Adventure
Hosted by Lake Brownwood State Park, this reservation-only hike starts at Park Headquarters, where Ranger George will lead the group to the new property. If you're new to iNaturalist or its sister app Seek, he'll guide you through setup and usage, perfect tools for identifying organisms worldwide. Even experienced observers can make valuable contributions. No pets allowed due to sensitive natural and cultural resources.
