February 20 Tandy Hills Brush Bash 2 & Trout Lily Walk

That is Olive the Prairie Dog frolicking on the Tandy Hills during our recent record breaking snow.

Olive's last name is Young, due to her paternal parental unit being Don Young.

Olive wanted Don Young to tell you that the Brush Bash 2 is still on for Saturday, February 20.

Also on the Tandy Hills, that Saturday, there will be a Trout Lily Walk with Master Naturalist, Jeff Quayle.

Brush Bash 2's start time is 10am. Ending at 3pm, with lunch sometime between those extremes. You will want to bring work gloves, water, a can-do spirit. And lunch.

If you need more info about the Tandy Hills Natural Area Brush Bash 2 you can email Don Young or call 817.731.2787.

There will be two Trout Lily Walks with Jeff Quayle

Jeff Quayle is a self taught botanist/naturalist specializing in plants of north central Texas for more than 25 years, including the eco-region's habitats of north central Texas. He'll discuss the life cycle of the Trout Lily, its habitats, requirements for producing blooms and the means of propagating itself.

Trout Lily Walk #1, like I already said, is the same Saturday as Brush Bash 2. You can Brush Bash for awhile and then take a break and do some Trout Lily Walking.

Trout Lily Walk #2 is scheduled for March 6.

Both Trout Lily Walks start at 10am and walk til 1pm.

Bring water, a camera and a notebook.

Contact Don Young for more info. Contact option above.
