Many of you are familiar with Richard Love, a volunteer with
the Franklin Mountains State Park in the Tom Mays Unit. If you don’t know
Richard, you may have come across the bird blind on one of your trips to the
park. Richard helped design and build the blind and has done some extraordinary
photography there and at other locations in the park. He has been a
photographer for over 30 years now and has made a study of the wildlife of the
Chihuahuan Desert.
Along with Richard, FMSP volunteers Heath Shawhart and George
Murray will be speaking this Thursday,
April 5th at the El Paso Garden Center, 3201 Grant Avenue. (Map).
The Trans-Pecos Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists are sponsoring this
presentation, “Flora, Fauna and Recreation at the Franklin Mountains State Park”.
Richard Love will discuss birds and
animals of the Chihuahuan Desert and Franklin Mountains and include his
personal photography. Heath Shawhart will talk about the recreational and
hiking activities in the park and include tips on desert survival skills and
desert plants. George Murray will speak about reptiles, plants and blooms.
Here are just a few of Richard's photographs of animals at Tom Mays:
