Saving the Red-Cockaded Woodpecker - Around Texas with Chancellor John Sharp

The Red-Cockaded Woodpecker is an endangered species that has found refuge in the urban ecosystem of the W.G. Jones State Forest - Texas A&M Forest Service.
Their champion is our very own biologist, Donna Work. Work climbs 40-foot pine trees to check on the birds, band their babies to monitor population and ensure overall health and longevity of the species by improving their habitat, protecting their young and diversifying their gene pool.
Watch this segment of Around Texas with Chancellor John Sharp featuring Work and the great work she does to protect these birds.

Donna is a true Texas asset, especially to forests and forest landowners!

Saw her speak about this briefly at a Riparian Education seminar once upon a time. Cool to see the project in action!

Such a Love for nature. Donna is demonstrating what the Creator told man to do in Genesis.
