DIA DE LOS MUERTOS CELEBRATION

Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a holiday that celebrates the living and dead. On these days, it is a time when the loved ones who have passed-on can come back to appreciate life’s pleasures like eating and drinking again. On November 2, 2023 we invite families out to Dow Park to celebrate your loved ones by enjoying music, food and creating offerings (ofrendas) to honor their departed family members that have passed. Remember this is not a time to mourn but to celebrate your departed loved one in a positive and spiritual way.

JIMMY BURKE ACTIVITY CENTER

Bats in general are very beneficial mammals that consume hundreds of thousands of insects per night, including mosquitos, moths, and beetles. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department studies have shown that the agricultural value of insect control by bats is $1.4 billion annually in Texas alone!

We have several other bat species but these do not receive the attention that the above-mentioned species does. A few of these are the eastern red bat, the northern yellow bat, big brown bat, and the evening bat. These are the ones we are more likely to see in our neighborhoods. Thirty-three species of bats have been recorded in the state but several of these are rare occurrences. - “Bats of Houston” Houston Audubon, Aug. 2023 houstonaudubon.org/programs/learn/bats.
