This past Saturday multiple events conspired to keep me from being able to join the Manly Men and Wild Women bashing brush on the Tandy Hills of Forth Worth, Texas.I've heard from Don Young that the bashing was a huge success, with Brush Bash II scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2010.
The Brush Bash Report---
About 90 dedicated boys, girls, women and men showed up on a chilly Saturday morning to help restore the prairie at Tandy Hills Natural Area. This diverse team of individuals from all walks of life and throughout the Fort Worth area worked hard and did so cheerfully and with gusto. There was a sense of community and coming together to make a difference in this special place. The transformation of Tandy Hills Natural Area is well underway.
A huge swath of endangered Fort Worth prairie has been cleared of undesirable and invasive plants. Several large trucks hauled it away for composting. Thousands of pounds of trash and debris were removed. The rain forced us to stop at 1:30 pm so there is more work to be done this season. Please join us for round two.
The 2nd annual Brush Bash succeeded with help from the following groups:
--- Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area
--- City of Fort Worth Parks & Community Service Department led by, Michelle Villafranca, and crew
--- Polytechnic High School Key Club, directed by, Mike Beaupre (highly disciplined and motivated group)
--- Boy Scout Troops 12 and 180 (the future leaders of Tandy Hills were well represented)
--- Tarrant County Sheriff's Office, Labor Detail
--- Don's Dawg's owner-operator, Mindy Billings (hot dog's never tasted so good)
A very big Thank You to all!
