Texas Game Wardens Respond To Kerr County Flood


Over the July 4th weekend, Texas Game Wardens have rescued over 300 people–numerous airlifted, including children from Camp Mystic–and evacuated animals to safety. We have 158 wardens in the field responding to calls and participating in the search, with 158 off-road equipped vehicles, 37 boats, 10 search and rescue teams, two helicopters, rescue swimmers and 16 unmanned aerial systems operators supporting search and rescue efforts over the weekend. "In the face of this devastating tragedy, Texas Game Wardens have poured in from across the state and we’re proud to stand beside our local, state and federal partners in this unified effort to make sure we’re doing everything we can to serve our fellow Texans," said Col. Ron VanderRoest, Texas Parks and Wildlife law enforcement director. "This has been a heartbreaking few days, but through the devastation, I’ve seen the spirit of our communities and strength of our wardens, who are trained for moments like this. We’ll continue to work diligently and remain available and actively engaged for as long as we’re needed.” Remember: as much as possible, please avoid the areas impacted by flooding and do not drive through floodwaters. #texas #texasgamewardens #kerr #july4th #flood

Gorman Falls 🌿 #texasstateparks


VISIT: tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/colorado-bend Some places just feel like magic. ✨ Gorman Falls is a 70-foot #waterfall that looks like something out of a dream. The water here creates stunning travertine rock formations - built slowly over time as river water evaporates. These natural terraces cradle quiet pools and lush greenery, home to species like the Guadalupe bass, our Texas state fish. 🎣 But this beauty is fragile. To protect the delicate habitat, respect it, admire it, and leave it better than you found it. 💚 #coloradobendstatepark #texas #texasoutdoors #nature #hiking #hikingadventures #stateparks #youtubeshort #youtubeshorts #shorts
