May Link of the Month

In an effort to keep everyone coming back to the Harvey WMA blog site and keep WMA members informed of the latest information, I will periodically post on this site. At times, I will write "articles" on various topics. Once a month, I will also introduce you to a new link that contains information I think you will be interested in. This month, the link I'm recommending you all visit is the Spring 2008 edition of Texas Parks and Wildlife's Eye on Nature Newsletter. Click on the title of this posting to read the newsletter in its entirety. The Eye on Nature newsletter is published by the wildlife diversity program that Matt Wagner, my predecessor, now oversees. In this issue you will discover the key to great wildlife habitat, learn the differences between native and invasive plant species and effects of each on various wildlife species, read a narrative describing the development of Texas Parks and Wildlife's Private Lands Assistance Program which allows me to work individually with you on the management of your properties, and read short descriptions of native plants such as American beautyberry, wax myrtle, rusty blackhaw viburnam, hackberry, post oak, and mistletoe which provide valuable food and cover for some of your favorite wildlife. I strongly recommend that you follow the link in the title of this post and spend about 10-15 minutes reading the articles in this newsletter. Be sure to check the Eye on Nature Newsletter link on the right column of the blog to see past and future editions of the newsletter.
