The City of Fort Worth has established an Open Space Conservation Program to help identify and protect the city’s most important natural areas for current residents and future generations. Combining GIS-based computer mapping and modeling with public input, the natural areas prioritization process is data-driven and community-informed. 

Results will help guide where public funds could be spent to acquire and conserve high-quality natural areas across the city. The Trust for Public Land worked with the City of Fort Worth and a community stakeholder group on this effort. City of Fort Worth Senior Planner Brandi Kelp will discuss the program, land acquisitions and amenities planned.
