The weather is looking to be warmer for a special program on Saturday with the Dallas County Conservation Board.

Outreach Coordinator Sarah Gilchrist says their newest naturalist Erica “Bearica” will lead a program at Sportsman Park, east of Dawson from 10-11am. She points out that the program includes hands-on activities for attendees to touch with animal furs and skulls and Bearica will go over what these animals do to get ready for the winter season. Gilchrist talks about how impressive the conservation staff is overall.

“I learn something everyday from the people I work with and I’m always impressed with the level of knowledge. It just amazes me and it’s so interesting, and they love to share their passion with other people. It really shows in their presentations.”

Gilchrist notes that while registration isn’t necessary for this free program, she encourages people to do so that they can be notified if any programs are canceled or postponed.
