What are the benifits of growing this plant here

# data[].attributes.body
Is this type of plant that is most healthy plant in Texas.

# data[].attributes.body
Native plants are important because their used to Texas heat and might not use as much water as California plants or Alaska plants

# data[].attributes.body
What  type of  plant is this?

(Red Oak) We should plant this tree because it is native to Texas which means that native insects eat on it for food.  It doesn't have very many illnesses that it can get which makes it live longer and grow bigger.  It is easily planted in new locations and it is easily planted in different types of soils.  It's roots don't grow very large so it can be planted in small areas, such as next to a sidewalk.  Which makes it a good tree to grow in Texas because it lives well in our state giving us shade, gives a habitat for plants, insects and animals, and can be used for furniture, flooring and the wood that makes your house.

This is a cactus .It is Texas native plant. This Cactus does not need a lot of water because when it rains the water stays in there stem.But it steel needs water . That is one reason we can plant a cactus here in Trophy Club.It also needs a lot of sun. And animals are used to eating this type of plant.It also helps us human-seat. This cactus is a South West cactus

this native plant is a texas lantana. we should plant these native plants here because if it wasent a native plant here then it would not need are climites but sense it is a native plant here we need to keep it here so the plant will live and not all die out

# data[].attributes.body
The plants that we took had are native because they come from Texas we have here a bunch of difrerent plants that are native plants to  Texas! Some of these plants help the soil and give nutrientsto  the soil for the other plants to grow!

This plant here is the Canna Lily. This plant is native and is found in west Texas.Here is some reasons you should plant native plants rather than not native plants:
-Save water-
-Needs little attention-
-pestide freedom- (native plants have developed protection from pestide, only native)
-Native wild life prefers native plants-

Wheat is an important native plant in Texas because the animals and humans eat it which gives them vitamins which helps  animals and humans stay healthy. Wheat is made into many different foods such as cereal and bread. All of these things help the human bodies. Wheat helps animals by giving them energy to run and play and stay healthy. Wheat is mainly a important native plant because it is something that animals and humans can both eat for vitamins. You should plant wheat more because it is native and it gives us food to eat with vitamins to keep us healthy and energized. Wheat also is important because it can also be used to make gluten free foods for the people who can not eat foods with gluten, as those people can eat wheat.

Look at this habitat. The milkweed is important because it gives other animals  hiding places so they can camouflage in and not get eaten by prey and it gives other animals food and energy.  Plants help  humans and other animals for oxygen and we help them by giving  them oxygen they also give animals food   and it grows good in Texas so animals can get food like milkweed so they can be healthy and have energy to live.

Bluebonnets are important because they are native to Texas and probably not able to survive somewhere else!.

We need round tops because they're native to Texas and they are possibly food for animals .Picture of Round Tops.

Planting native plants help conserve water, provide habitats for wildlife, and encourage native insects and animals to stay in the area.

-Wildscaping (designing landscaping to attract and benefit wildlife. This is done through planting plants native to your area) (also helps us offset the disappearance of habitat caused by development)

-March is SmartScape Month! Bring awareness of plants that reduce watering, andpesticides

we voted no but the people who voted yes started a big debate so we put one.

# data[].attributes.body
How will they light at night?

# data[].attributes.body
How will the deer eat and get up  from the tunnel. Will they survive when other animals go down the tunnel.

# data[].attributes.body
How do the deer know to go over the bridge?

# data[].attributes.body
If the deer go through the road when the light turns red that would make the new road useless because it would get the same timing to places as the old road.

# data[].attributes.body
Our plan is to have the deer go through the tunnel when it is time for them to miagrate and there is soalar panels so the tunnel will be lit up at night. The inside of the tunnel will be made of a materal that will be strong cars go over it.there will also be drains so the tunnel will not flood.

# data[].attributes.body
uWe will build a fence on both sides of the road and in the middle there will be a gate and a pressure plat when they step on it the gate opens and the stoplight turns red and the deer cross and if a car going to fast it will hit the speed bump and make them slow down and the deer can cross.

# data[].attributes.body
Our plan is to build a bridge above the road. The fence sourounds the extra space that is not covered by the bridge. The bridge is helpful to the deer because the deer will go over the road on the bridge when the cars are on the road under the bridge. So all the deer will not get run over. The fence is so the deer don't just go on the road they will go on the bridge.

# data[].attributes.body
Our plan is to make a fence around the road and have a opening for the
Deer to cross at the same time the cars will be able to go across the road without running over the deer.
There will be a railroad arms at the road and where the deer will be.we will have to put food down and the deer will eat the food and will be brought to the opening of the fence . There will be railroad arms by the deer so the deer will be safe.

# data[].attributes.body
our bridge is a good idea because it will help not just deer it will also help every animal in the   mountains because it can transport all of them to get to the other  side.it also has grass and plants to make it look more natural.

Take and post a picture of your groups design. Be sure to explain how it would work and why you chose it.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes then this a perfect idea!

# data[].attributes.body
After the presentation  we learned if you bulldoze living things they can't grow back. So for example the tree in the front of beck died because of the soil of them building the school

# data[].attributes.body
its not for drinking its for fossits and hoses and gardening

# data[].attributes.body
it is better to plant native plants then planting plants from all around the world because it is better for the animals because do you really think that a deer would eat the non native plants!!

# data[].attributes.body
The road does is not meant for plants to grow in it so we don't really care about what happens to the plants.

# data[].attributes.body
The problem is that sometimes there could be a drought and the plants would`t get enough water and die.

# data[].attributes.body
what is the problem and how will water barrels help that and why.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,but if plants grow in the holes would`t cars run over the plants and the plants would die?

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the rain water is healthy for people to drink. It has to be cleaned for us to be able to drink it. What other uses could we use our stored water for?

# data[].attributes.body
We could create green belts that would connect areas of habitats for organisms to move freely between. This would help animals find different sources of food without needing to go into people back yards. It also would help animals because they would not need to cross streets and roads in order to find new sources of food and water.

# data[].attributes.body
What are some native plants we can find in our area? Why are native plants so important? Why should we plant them instead of other types of plants?

# data[].attributes.body
Water barrels can help animals and plants  get fresh water from the creek that got more from collected water from the water barrel.Also humans can use to water plants but we can not drink this water.

# data[].attributes.body
since they made rain barrels
it is easier for people   get clean water when they
need it and to see how many inches it
rained

# data[].attributes.body
The roads could have holes in the road all the way down to the soil so the plants can grow even though people are still making developments for cities and towns. The plants could then grow easier but also be able to have more sunlight and clean soil. The water when there are floods on the street in would help the plants and the roads that people drive on. This road is meant to make good soil by making the soil rich because of the water and sunlight let in.

What new ideas did you learn about how rapid development has impacted organisms in Trophy Club?

# data[].attributes.body
why are the birds living in letters

# data[].attributes.body
theres to much grass

# data[].attributes.body
What is the problem ?

# data[].attributes.body
I think your idea is very creative. I never thought about what causes the ants to come into our homes. Great connection as to why they don't continue to live outside.

# data[].attributes.body
what about the trees outside of the store and what about parks/other buldings

# data[].attributes.body
Team Nature could you tell me how if they fall and die how will that impact them and there population.

# data[].attributes.body
Because its their pool and the ducks use the bathroom in the pool and get feathers everywhere

# data[].attributes.body
Why do the people get mad about the ducks in their pools?

# data[].attributes.body
jjThe other animals in sight being road killed are ducks, skunks, squirrels, wolfs and raccoon's.

# data[].attributes.body
What other animals are hit by cars when crossing a road?

# data[].attributes.body
Well no we meant just not mess with the ducks until they leave.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think people will really dig up their pools for the ducks?

# data[].attributes.body
The birds  in  tomthumb  are
living   in the letters in the sign  because they  have no
place to nest from all the new companys  being built.

# data[].attributes.body
The ponds get flatend for homes and now the ducks have no habitat so they have to find   a new habitat.They move to people's pools and the people get mad,and eventully will have to give up their pool for the ducks space for the ducklings.

# data[].attributes.body
We have taken down trees  which impacts the birds because they do not have a safe place to live that is why the O on top  of Tom Thump there is a nest !!! The problem with that is it could fall and the birds  could die.

# data[].attributes.body
A problem in Trophy Club would be road kill animals are trying to get to there habitat.
An animal sighted most crossing roads and getting run over is a fox the fox runs to go to there habitat or to the other species for food/survival but the roads block there way so the foxes usually get run over and there population gets lower each day so there are way less foxes now because of us and our cars.

# data[].attributes.body
Ants were all in our houses because we were destroying there piles such as digging
them, hunting them, or just playing and destroying them
like us sometimes. Another reason is we have pantries with yummy sweet snacks and ants love that stuff. So they try to get it.

# data[].attributes.body
What environmental problems do you see in your community that are caused or impacted by rapid growth?

# data[].attributes.body
As homes were built in Trophy Club, larger ponds and lakes had to be made smaller in order to save more land for the houses. This caused ponds to become over crowed with ducks and left them no bushes to use as their habitat. Now ducks use people bushes outside of their homes. This is dangerous for ducks because of house pets like dogs and cats. Ducks are also having to cross streets and sidewalks to get to the water that they need to help them survive. They could be hit by cars or have contact with people who may not respect them and their space.
