The Cross Timbers Sierra Club, which serves Collin, Denton, Fannin, and Grayson counties, hosts Sally Evans from the Blackland Prairie Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists.
Join the USGBC's Emerging Professionals Group poolside for a happy hour. The group is geared to 30-something and under crowd interested in green issues. See website for details.
Martha Ohlson of Allen will share her wonderful photos and travel experiences from a five-week trip to Vietnam in 2013. Martha is an accomplished photographer, has explored more than 40 countries, camped and backpacked around the world and is a member of the Dallas Sierra Club.
This newly formed chapter is a branch of the Native Prairies Association of Texas and will represent 13 Blackland counties: Collin, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson, Henderson, Hunt, Kaufman, Lamar, Navarro, Rains, Rockwall and Van Zandt.
Tandy Hills Natural Area and Stella Rowan Prairies have always been prairie, but they haven't always been protected.
How did they become protected? Someone took notice and the process was set in motion. We need people (anyone) to be our eyes. Yes, that's right, the prairie needs YOU to notice it! It doesn't matter if you don't know the difference between Johnson grass and Bluestem grass, we still need you.
The Native Prairies Association has been mapping prairies statewide and our chapter needs help with tagging the Fort Worth area. Once a prairie remnant is identified, an effort can be made to save it from development or to introduce the owner to conservation options in conjunction with development. Our area is being developed at an alarming rate and knowing what we have will give us an advocacy starting point for treasures yet to be discovered.
If you can't join us, you can still help by looking for prairies (the land may be public or private). Report locations to our website: www.fortworthnpat.wordpress.com or by email: [email protected]
