Bring water and snacks and comfortable shoes and clothing appropriate for warm weather. Please no dogs. Hike cancelled if raining.

Gather your friends and family, scout troop and neighbors for a fun, free event. Reminisce on what Coppell looked like as a prairie and do the "buffalo stomp" with the herd of seeders. Enhance the beauty of the trail system of Moore Road Park at Andy Brown East by participating in the wildflower seeding. Volunteers (teens and adults) are needed to help facilitate the event that morning. Pre-registration is not required to participate.
