ANRS is hosting the 6th Annual Scales, Tails, and Trails (STT) on Saturday, April 20th, 2019 from 10:00a-2:00p. For those who haven't participated in the event before, STT is a fun, family-friendly event at the Lubbock Lake Landmark. There will be indoor and outdoor booths along the boardwalk with informational and interactive themes, such as fish prints, face painting, gardening, telemetry hide and seek, prairie dogs, astronomy and much more.

It also is an opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to give back to the community by encouraging a curiosity for the natural world among Lubbock's youth.
