Possessing a deep attachment to the land that shines through Wild DFW, Amy will bring insight into how to appreciate and explore our North Texas nature. The talk pairs radiant photographs of the outdoors and poetic passages from the book with her own profound experiences, including how hiking trails helped her heal from a near-fatal spinal injury. Discover the passion of the prairie, nurturing bottomland forests, soaring escarpments, and cast-iron Eastern Cross Timbers, all bound up with our river, the elusive Trinity.

After the talk, we'll talk an amble to experience some of the talk tips about experiencing nature. We'll do a loop around the grounds, visiting these specialty gardens: Master Gardeners’ Garden, Native Butterfly Habitat, Benny J Simpson Texas Natives Plant Collection, and Robert & Nancy Dedman Shade Garden.
