Digging for Clues

Deep within the rugged cliffs of Caprock Canyons State Park, a team of archeologists uncover ancient bison bones at a rare prehistoric hunting site. Known as a bison jump, the site reveals how Indigenous peoples once used the land's natural features to survive. As the team excavates, they connect with Texas' distant past—preserving history before it erodes away.

Planting Pocket Prairies

Native bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators do the important work of pollinating most species of flowering plants, helping food crops and our native habitats grow. But many critical species are facing decline as the prairie habitat they need to survive is lost to monoculture, development and other land uses. From planting pocket prairies to using native plants in landscaping, there's something all of us can do to help pollinators and prairies thrive.
