Tandy Hills Natural Area

3325 View St, Fort Worth, TX 76103

Join our guests from the Greater Fort Worth Sierra Club for a talk and walk with author and naturalist Amy Martin about her book, Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth. Come at noon and bring a picnic lunch. Amy will talk at the outdoor classroom about how as a lifelong Dallasite she fell in love with Fort Worth nature and lead a discussion on how the bedrock and ecology of the two counties shapes their primary cities’ personalities. Then at 1 pm we’re off to recreate the hike from the Tandy Hills chapter, exploring the prairies in splendid fall wildflowers and the lush riparian corridor rich in wildlife. Expect loads of Maximilian sunflowers and other bold fall wildflowers. Native grass seedheads should be emerging and looking good. Walk attendance is limited to preserve trail integrity and so everyone can hear the leader talk.
