You can also catch the show on about 60 city government and educational access channels across the state. You can even watch the show on your schedule with PBS Online and on our YouTube channel. Originally titled Made in Texas, the program began production in 1985 as a magazine style show, with three or four different segments each week. For a few years the show focused on one topic each week, documentary style. In 1991 the name of the show changed to Texas Parks & Wildlife and reverted to the magazine format that we continue to this day. Each week, our program travels to several different destinations around Texas. The stories cover a wide range of topics, from in-depth issues about conservation and the environment, to fun family activities in the outdoors. This season we'll meet a man who has hiked to just about every state park in Texas. You'll see how easy it is to do some overnight camping and still make it to work in the morning. We'll take you dove hunting, mountain biking, paragliding, and carp fishing in different areas of the state. Our Skill Builder segments offer all kinds of handy tips, from hunting and fishing basics to finding places to paddle a kayak or canoe. This season you'll meet some of the Texas Parks & Wildlife people working behind the scenes to make important contributions to conservation in the state. We'll also introduce you to the 2016 Lone Star Land Steward award winners; private landowners who know the importance of good conservation. We'll showcase our fabulous state parks and historic sites. Each week we'll present our award winning stories about the people and places that make the outdoors of Texas the natural place to be. Our hope is to inspire you to get outdoors and visit the natural places in our state. We want to provide a compelling reason for you to care about the outdoors and the state's cultural heritage. Maybe you'll even get involved and help preserve a piece of that heritage. It's our hope that you'll develop a new appreciation for the natural world, a world that's right here in your backyard. Please join us as we explore the natural State of Texas.
