🦬 Oh baby, there’s a new calf at the refuge

The Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge welcomes a new bison calf

The Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge is celebrating the birth of its first bison calf of the season.

Earlier this week, the refuge announced the news in an online post, saying the baby was born the night before or the morning of April 22, making it about two weeks old.

FTW-Fort Worth Nature Center social post

With the opening of the new Bison Viewing Decks earlier this spring, guests can now see the littlest new addition and the rest of the herd from two decks — one standing 8-ft-tall and another 14-ft-tall.

If you’d rather take part in an up-close experience to see the calf, hop on the back of an open-air trailer for a behind-the-scenes tour to explore the herd’s habitat and stop for a feeding.

Guests of all ages can explore the 3,621-acre preserve from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

From the editor

One thing about me, I’m always going to save room for dessert. I’m typically a Braum’s kind of gal, but when I’m in the mood to try something unique, Melt Ice Creams is the way to go.

One of the newest flavors I tried is the Texas Lavender Honey Crunch made with housemade honeycomb candy. It was incredible, but what ice cream isn’t incredible?
