T-shirts and mugs.....we're not ruling that out but we're not there - yet

VISION

DISCOVER

Engage with nature
Every walk is a treasure hunt; the more you look, the more you find
The reward is finding beauty in both the familiar and the new

LEARN

Putting a name to what you see, allows you to learn more about it
Use mobile apps like Merlin and iNat for identification
Questions lead to answers ...and more questions
Facts + Explanation = Understanding (H. A. Rey)

LOVE

With discovery comes learning
With learning comes knowledge
With knowledge comes appreciation
With appreciation comes respect
With respect comes love

Let us guide you on your journey of discovery, learning and love of nature

VALUES

A shocking discovery but no alas "

No Pileated Woodpeckers home today

Palmetto State Park, Gonzales TX

Little did I know that a single bird walk at Lost Maples would be life changing. Checking birds off a list is good. But discovering new details, different calls, or behaviors you hadn’t yet experienced in both new-to-you species and familiar is the real reward. It is also the photographs captured, people on the trail and the ‘homework’ of researching new questions brought on by the day’s experience. Add in butterflies, dragonflies, plants and each walk is a treasure hunt where the more I look, the more I find.

I do not have a ‘spark bird’ but the bird hosts Les and Jane Hall sparked not only the birder in me but a desire to share that passion with others. As ‘Volunteer Extraordinaire’, I led interpretive walks at Lost Maples and Love Creek Preserve, participate in butterfly and Audubon Christmas Bird counts, and organize City Nature Challenge events. I continue to participate in these events and volunteer.

As a skilled birder and educator, I am privileged to keep doing what I love when I founded Busy-Birding.

I look forward to spending time together and THANK YOU for allowing me to

NURTURE YOUR LOVE FOR NATURE !

Sincerely,

Laura M. Levy
