Women have been shaping the conservation movement in Texas since the nineteenth century, though their stories are rarely told. Women played an invaluable role in the establishment of parks, protection of wildlife, developing policies that value nature, and defending communities against pollution and destruction of habitat. Their efforts enriched and reinforced the natural heritage of Texas. Wild Women for Good: Stories of Conservation in Texas celebrates those who dared to step forward to make a difference and to tell the complex story of conservation in the Lone Star state.
Join us in conversation with author Jennifer Bristol and women of the Rio Grande Valley whose stories have helped shape conservation in Texas.

Jennifer L. Bristol is the author of Parking Lot Birding: A Fun Guide to Discovering Birds in Texas and Cemetery Birding: An Unexpected Guide to Discovering Birds in Texas. Sharing a love of birds with famed naturalist Victor Emanuel, she created and directs the Victor Emanuel Nature Scholarship Fund to send underserved youth to birding and nature immersion camps.
