In the Weeds Walking Tour
9–10:30am: May 17, June 21, July 19, August 16
Join in Summer Species, BBP’s annual celebration of a native plant or animal found along Buffalo Bayou!
This year, our In the Weeds Walks will explore native plants and the insects that pollinate them along Buffalo Bayou! Follow along this discovery tour of Houston’s historic waterway ecosystem with Nancy Greig, founding director of the Cockrell Butterfly Center (now retired). An avid natural historian “jack of all trades”, she has particular interest in plants and insects, but birds, mammals, herpetofauna, and fish are all on her radar. At home she keeps busy with a butterfly garden, honey bee hives, and purple martin houses.
