6 Kelly Norrid of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department: All About Our Local Plants, Parks, and Wildlife
Kelly Norrid, of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, joins us to discuss his background, what his job with TPWD involves, how you can benefit from it, how he became interested in biology (interesting story!!), restoring ecosystems, some interesting behavior of Vultures, the benefits of snakes, the importance of nature and the wild, and more. A fascinating discussion I look forward to continuing.
Sorry if the sound quality is a little off on this: I'm not an audio engineer by trade. And sorry for my typing sometimes during the discussion: I was taking notes for the show notes.
