Upgrading Trails and Walking at Cedar Ridge Preserve
Howdy everyone. Its fun and its helpful to get out to the Cedar Ridge Preserve to help upgrade some of the beautiful walking trails just south of Dallas. It's a great morning workout, and the scenery is exceptional. No tools are required, (maybe gloves) just show up and be ready to lend a hand or two. We'll work from 9 AM to 12 or earlier, and then walk around the preserve and admire the wildflowers and fauna! Bring some water for sure.

Join Bella for reading and exploratory activities in the Burk Children's Library and the Tree House at BRIT! “Bella” is the host of BRIT’s family story times. Much more than a hand-puppet, Bella represents a begonia collected by field research botanists in Peru and sent to BRIT as a specimen.
Beginning in June, on the first and third Tuesday mornings of each month, Bella will welcome families into the Burk Children’s Library for “Bella's Story Time”! These hour-long programs are designed for preschool-development levels and their adult partners. Parents, grandparents or guardians enjoy an interactive read aloud side-by-side, and explore hands-on nature activities inspired by the story.
