Annual TPWD
Wildlife Expo
Planned Oct. 4-5
AUSTIN — One of the nation’s pre-
mier events for engaging youth and
new constituents in the outdoor expe-
rience has expanded its scope for 1997,
with a new seminar series designed to
teach visitors the basics of hunting, fish-
ing, bird watching, kayaking, and other
outdoor pastimes; a major new section
devoted to camping; and a completely
redesigned, more visitor-friendly layout
for the event’s 30-acre grounds.
The 1997 Texas Wildlife Expo will take
place at Texas Parks and Wildlife Depart-
ment headquarters at4200 Smith School
Road in southeast Austin on Saturday and
Sunday, Oct. 4-5. The event runs 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. both days. Texas Wildlife Expo
is free to the public, with on-site parting
available at no charge.
Expo encompasses a wide variety of
outdoor activities and sports, and fo-
cuses on fun, hands-on learning expe-
riences which acquaint visitors with
Texas’ outdoor recreational opportuni-
ties while educating them about their
responsibilities as users of the outdoors.
Baseball legend Nolan Ryan is chair-
man of this year's Expo. The former Texas
Rangers pitcher is also vice-chairman of
the Texas Parts and Wildlife Commission.
“Texas Wildlife Expo has become an
occasion where far ilies come together
to enjoy the outdoors and pass on a
legacy of conservation,“said Ryan, an
avidoutdoorsman.
“We give the children of Texas an
opportunity to come out and get in-
volved, pick up a fishing pole and catch
a fish, see live animals and ask ques-
tions about habitat preservation, and
participate in the many other hands-on
events. All of these are reasons why I
have supported Texas Wildlife Expo
since it began in 1992,” Ryan said.
Texas Wildlife Expo is a free, family-
oriented event produced by die Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department in part-
nership with private industry and con-
servation groups. The event benefits the
Expo Conservation Scholarship Fund of
the nonprofit Parks and Wildlife Foun-
dation of Texas, Inc.
