Information about all things native to Wildcat Bluff Nature Center
This is the beginning of a very large project to identify and publish information about all the wildlife living and geological features at Wildcat Bluff Nature Center. It will take some time to get all the information on our site so we will need help from anyone willing to participate in the project. You can help with specimen collection, identification, observation, photography and gathering of information about each species.
We are expecting results from a collection of arthropods gathered by biology students from WTAMU and Texas AgriLife during the summer of 2011. That information will be published once they are passed to us. We are making plans for collecting activities you can participate in and learn from. Watch our Events Calendar for dates and times.
