Tandy Hills Litter Stomp & Creek Bed Exploration

Stratford Park Picnic Table Location
I did not make it to the Tandy Hills Natural Area and Giant Tire Sanctuary today.

But I did get an email from Don Young inviting me.

And you.

To the Tandy Hills this coming Saturday of September 17.

This is one of those invitation type things that I do not know why anyone would pass up due to the fact that not only do you get a T-shirt for participating, you also get a Certification of Appreciation, presented, I assume by the Wizard of Tandy Hills.

Below, as best as I can re-create it, is the invitation inviting you to the Tandy Hills this coming Saturday....

Howdy Friends and Neighbors,

Have you ever been hiking at Tandy Hills Natural Area/Stratford Park and noticed all the trash in the creek bed? You probably said to yourself: "Yuck!"

And, if you did, we have an opportunity for you...

JOIN US for 
**** The 1st Neighborhood FALL LITTER  STOMP ****
Saturday September 17th, 9am to 12noon

We have an amazing opportunity RIGHT NOW  because the drought has dried up the creek. That means, we can walk the creek beds (neat!) and clean up the cups, cans and crud that will (when we eventually get rain) be washed all along the creek's path through THNA and into the Trinity River.

WHEN & WHERE:
Meet at Stratford Park picnic table at 9:00 AM this coming Saturday, September 17. 2288 Chelsea Road @ 4000 Meadowbrook Drive. Park on Chelsea Rd.  (Stratford Park is on the eastern border of Tandy Hills)

WHAT:
Spend the morning adventuring and making a difference.
It will be fun, and you'll see bits of the Natural Area that you have possibly never seen before.

BRING:
The City of Fort Worth is providing Bags, Gloves, and a couple of "Little Grabbers".
If you have Gloves or Grabbers, you may want to bring them along.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
A tee-shirt!
A Certificate of appreciation (woo!)
And a sense of accomplishment on your next visit to Tandy Hills/Stratford Park.
