Nature’s Rhythm, Crab Trap Cleanup & Wetland Center | Texas Parks & Wildlife Series (Full Episode)

Episode 8, Season 40 of Texas Parks & Wildlife, a weekly PBS series about the great outdoors. The connection between artistic inspiration and the natural world comes to life in three unique profiles. Find out how an annual cleanup of lost and abandoned crab traps in our coastal bays and waterways helps save crabs and other sea life. And see how a man-made wetland near Dallas cleans water while teaching the next generation about nature. In Tune with Nature - 1:20 Art and nature have been intertwined since ancient times. The connection between music and the natural world comes to life in three unique profiles. A composer writes orchestral arrangements for the stage. A site-specific dance troupe find inspiration in the sounds of a waterfall. A tech innovator brings alive the inner life of plants with his musical invention. The Crab Trap Collectors - 12:07 For ten days each February, Texas bays are closed to crab trapping and derelict traps are collected by the thousands. Follow some dedicated volunteers as they clean up abandoned traps and save fish and crabs from the threat of ghost fishing. John Bunker Sands Wetland Center - 18:02 The John Bunker Sands Wetland Center is a one-of-a-kind outdoor classroom. Here kids can journey through a unique wetland ecosystem. But it’s much more than a place to explore, this wetland also works to clean water naturally, filtering millions of gallons of Trinity River water each day to help provide clean drinking water to a growing Texas.
