Presentation: A Framework for Prairie Restoration in the Built Environment
Presentor: Clint Hail
From his time as a cadet at West Point where he graduated with a bachelor of science in foreign languages and civil engineering, followed by five years of active duty service as a U.S. Army captain honing his leadership and planning skills, through lengthy stints in non-profit community development serving marginalized communities, and as a transportation planner with NCTCOG, Clint has now taken the plunge and started his own ecologically-minded landscape consultancy, design, management, and maintenance company. Based in Midlothian, Trinity Prairie Co. is “a Texas-native landscaping company in DFW passionate about uniting nature, beauty and place.”
Clint will share his insights on prairie restoration in the DFW Metroplex.
