Event hosted by the Arlington Conservation Council. Renowned Texas Master Naturalist Jim Varnum will lead a one-hour plant walk. His walks are always very interesting, educational and informative.

Following the plant walk, City Councilwoman Lana Wolff will draw the winning ticket in ACC's Rangers Ballpark Suite fund raiser. Tickets are available for $20 each.

After the drawing, volunteers will be watering, weeding and cleaning up in the park.

DFW Greenweavers was established for the purpose of networking those professionals and companies who are either green-minded, eco-friendly or wishing to become more so.

We welcome those entrepreneurs, inventors, contractors, local food growers and similar synergistic partners helping us "grow" a better green business environment in the DFW area.

This event is hosted by the North Texas Environmental Meetup Group. In addition to talking about water, the group will also be talking about the latest environmental news and then move on to member suggested topics.

This event is scheduled around dinnertime, so feel free to come a little bit early and get a bite to eat or pick up a pint while we're there. Since we'll be taking up some space, it's only fair to give back a bit to the restaurant.

Hosted by EcoTuesday, an important message to building/property owners and managers will be given by Lori De La Cruz, ABC, and the Vice President of Sustainability Education at U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce (Lone Star Chapter). This is also a networking opportunity to meet other people in the property/building industry and trades. Refreshments will be served. Please sign up ASAP to attend at: http://www.meetup.com... before registration fills up.
