Big News from Don Young.Big Steps are being taken to bring the Tandy Hills back to full health....
Tandy Hills Natural Area is getting a makeover. The City of Fort Worth is initiating the first phase of an ongoing effort to enact the recently published Master Plan.
Beginning next week, City of FW Parks and Community Services Department crews will begin cutting unwanted and invasive woody species from selected portions of the 160 acre park. They need our help dragging the cuttings to the curb. Without natural fire to control them "woody" species are shading out the native grasses and wildflowers that make THNA such a remarkable place. With your help, we can start reversing this trend. (see below)
My sombrero is off to the City of Fort Worth Parks Dept. staff for making this happen.
