Parks and Recreation tip: Don’t be a crape murderer.

🫣↔️DON’T DO THIS TO YOUR CRAPE MYRTLES!!! The City of Pasadena’s Parks and Landscaping team recommends following Texas A&M Forest Service’s guidelines below. Although many have been struggling because of recent freezes and droughts, if you prune and maintain your crape myrtles properly, they will bloom beautifully!!

Texas A&M Forest Service:  “Crape myrtles are a common and beautiful sight in landscapes across Texas. Unfortunately, the practice known as “crape murder” is also a common sore-eyed sight seen this time of year. While winter months are typically a good time to prune trees, crape murder is an incorrect pruning practice that removes the entire top of the tree each year, also known as topping.

It’s a common myth that this practice is needed to create brilliant blooms or reduce the height of the tree. In reality, crape murder promotes the vigorous growth of many, weakly attached shoots from each cut. Done year after year, crape murder can lead to disfiguration and the decline of the tree.
So, how can we stop and prevent this practice?
First, when planting crape myrtles, select the right variety for the space. Look up the mature height of your selection before planting to ensure it won’t outgrow the space.
Next, prune to maintain the natural form of the tree. Less is typically more here. Focus on removing dead, dying, broken, diseased or rubbing branches and suckers that grow from the base of the tree.
Finally, help spread the word that crape murder should be stopped and together, maybe we can bring this crime to an end

Armand Bayou bringing in some facts about how white-tail survive extreme heat without sweat glands.

The way white-tail deer deal with this extreme heat, is they find shade and decrease movement in the heat of the day. They do not have sweat glands. The term for being most active at dawn and dusk is crepuscular.

Journey of the Monarchs: Armand Bayou Associate Environmental Steward Wren, explores a waystation for the Monarchs.

Our new Associate Environmental Steward, Wren Bradley, attended a Monarch Waystation dedication ceremony. The waystation was made possible by Clear Lake Chapter – Native Plant Society of Texas, Texas Department of Transportation, and Port Houston. Check it out on Shoreacres Blvd at SH 146 to learn about the Monarch life cycle and how the waystation provides their needs as they migrate from Mexico to Canada and back. It is especially important to have these pockets of protection in urban areas to help our migratory friends! ABNC’s restored tall-grass prairie is also a certified Monarch Waystation!

Wren is super excited to fulfill the stewardship mission to take care of the three ecoregions ABNC protects. Come be a part of ABNC’s mission by volunteering on our Prairie Fridays and Stewardship Saturdays.

Exploring Armand Bayou, 4-H leaders take on an adventure packed with wildlife and conservation insights.

We took 15 4-H leaders on a guided kayak tour of ABNC’s bayou! It was warm, but we had fun seeing all sorts of wildlife. Did you know: during droughts, our normally brackish water can get just as salty as Galveston bay! This actually helps get rid of invasive species like tilapia and water hyacinth.

Wild baby wood ducks and their sneaky camouflage tactics for survival.

These baby wood ducks are zooming to safety! The reeds on the shore of Horsepen bayou provide camouflage and help the ducks hide from predators. Wild ducks, unlike their city-dwelling counterparts, are very cautious and are easily startled into zooming away. Photo courtesy of Gary Seloff
