The North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) invites residents, community groups, and other organizations to a virtual listening session to provide feedback on the Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan-Priority Climate Action Plan (DFW AQIP-PCAP).

NCTCOG is a regional planning agency in Dallas-Fort Worth that collaborated with public/private agencies and residents to develop the DFW AQIP-PCAP.

The DFW AQIP-PCAP identifies measures (i.e. projects, programs, and policies) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful air pollutants in North Texas for the next 5 years. Feedback received during this meeting on the DFW AQIP-PCAP will be used to develop the DFW AQIP- Comprehensive Climate Action Plan (CCAP) which will be published in Summer 2025 and will outline how to improve air quality over the next 25 years.

You can also submit comments via an online survey.

Arlington Conservation Council: Native Plants Are for the Birds - Zoom

Aug 7 2024 - 7:00pm

Zoom TX

See map: Google Maps

Natives provide seeds and berries and attract insects for most birds’ diets. They also give shelter and nesting sites. Plus learn pointers about what to plant for winter bird feeding.

A Texas Master Naturalist and past president (twice) of the Fort Worth Audubon Society, Charley has led birding trips all over the state. His avian adventures have ranged far afield to Costa Rica, Ecuador, Europe, and Canada, but his favorite destination is a lot closer to home — Big Bend National Park.

Charley’s love of nature calls him to volunteer at local parks leading nature walks for enthusiasts of all ages. He regularly helps out at area native plant endeavors, including the Fielder House garden, Knapp Heritage pollinator garden, the greenhouse for the Molly Hollar Wildscape, and the gardens at River Legacy Science Center. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UTA.
