Gardening

One day a year, Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area with help from the city of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department hosts a Brush Bash to clear sections of the prairie of invasive and unwanted trees, brush and trash. The brush has been cut and will be ready for volunteers to drag to waiting trucks for delivery to a composting facility. 

Bring gloves, sturdy shoes, hat, water, lunch, tarps and small wagons. Coffee, tea & morning snacks provided. RSVP: Don Young, donyoungglass@earthlink.net
