Speakers: Amy Martin & Kristi Kerr Leonard, Ned Fritz Legacy

Tune in for an inspiring presentation about Ned Fritz, Texas’ greatest environmentalist, woven with excerpts of his nature poetry and photos of places he protected. No one had a more significant impact on Texas nature than Ned and his wife, Genie, who were steadfast supporters of the Dallas Sierra Club. He built a coalition that defeated the Trinity River barge canal and brought initial attention to the Great Trinity Forest. Ned added crucial organizational and legislative acumen that led to the creation of Big Thicket National Preserve.
