Prairies of North Texas
from the Wild DFW chapter: Where Forest Meets Prairie

From the rainforest-thick Blackland Prairie to the sparse yet colorful Fort Worth Prairie, and the prairie patches found in Eastern Cross Timbers and Post Oak Savannah, get to know the native grasslands of North Texas. Learn how these prairies became endangered ecosystems and why they are the key to reducing the urban heat island effect, sequestering carbon to reduce global warming impact, and supporting pollinators. Take a tour of the prairies of North Texas through prosaic passages and jaw-dropping photos from Amy Martin’s Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth on Timber Press. Get to know a robust community of prairie defenders.
