We've got two events at Mockingbird Nature Park coming up in July and hope that you'll join us for both!
First, our July Wildflower Walk on Saturday, July 16, at 9am. Indian Trail member Don Happ will lead the walk. Join us on this 1/2 mile stroll along the trail as he identifies and talks about the wildflowers you see. It will be hot, so come prepared. Bring drinking water and insect repellent is always a good idea, as is a hat and sunscreen. We have flyers available with species lists of plants found in the park, birds and animals and also one on insects. These walks are always fun and informative so I hope you'll join us!
Second, our first MOTH NIGHT at Mockingbird Nature Park will be on Wednesday, July 27 8:30pm to 11:00pm Join the Indian Trail Master Naturalists and TPWD biologist as we document moths and nocturnal insects at Mockingbird Nature Park in Midlothian. This is a registered event during National Moth Week. http://nationalmothweek.org/events-map-2/ We will have moth lights set up and hope for a good turn out (both visitors and moths!) Again, it will be hot, so come prepared. Bring drinking water, and since it will be dark, a flashlight is recommended and wear close-toed shoes. Again, insect repellent is recommended to fend off those pesky mosquitoes! We will be staying on the trails for this nighttime event. Bring a camera if you would like to take photos of the moths and other night time insects we'll see.
Both events are FREE and open to the public. We meet at the parking lot. Please join us! Mockingbird Nature Park is located just north of Mockingbird Lane, at 1361 Onward Rd, Midlothian, TX 76065
