9am - 4 pm
"Take Me Outdoors Houston"
Houston's Discovery Green park

At a time when people in big cities are becoming increasingly disconnected from the world of nature and the outdoors, Take Me Outdoors Houston will offer Houston’s first free, family-oriented festival of the outdoors.  "By introducing Texans, especially urban adults and kids, to outdoor recreation, our woods and waters and natural places become more relevant and important to them," said Heidi Rao, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hunter education specialist in Houston. "We believe recreation leads to conservation. If they’re out there enjoying the natural world, they come to care about it and finally to care for it."

Your own HGC-SCI First for Hunters Sensory Safari will be there, and it's going to be a great day of outdoor activities for all!
