the Dallas Woods and Waters Club was organized to provide an environment for education, networking and understanding for those sportsmen and sportswomen that are interested in hunting, fishing and conserving our ever diminishing outdoors.

DWWC regular meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month and are open to members and their guests.

Please contact the DWWC Office at 214-570-8700 to make reservation.

1919 Hemphill, a wonderful activist space, has agreed to help host a public screening of Gulf Restoration Network's "Defend the Gulf" in Fort Worth, Texas!

The Event: We will have a short talk about the aftermath of the 2010 BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill, then a screening of GRN's series of shorts, followed by a Q&A session, a chance to sign a petition, and a raffle drawing to win a trip to New Orleans!

Cost: A small fee (about $5) will be asked by the space to defray the cost.

Refreshments: 1919 Hemphill will generously provide vegan popcorn, soda, and water.

More about the movie: "Defend the Gulf" features "a beautiful piece from Cornell's Ornithology Lab, the hilarious 'BP Spills Coffee', excerpts from GRN's issue-focused Gulf Tides series, and more."

Please spread the news about this important series of short films and come and support the Gulf Restoration Network!

Meet likeminded people and discuss clean air actions.

Presentation on Soil Biology and Native Plants by Texas Discovery Garden's Randy Johnson.

Come learn about the "jungle" of living organisms, the ultimate recyclers
below the surface of the soil who turn organic matter into food. Learn
about the soil structure that is created and how that can have a profound
effect on the plants that you enjoy above the surface of the soil!
In addition, we will discuss the advantages of using Native and adapted
plant material.

Is your lawn scorched? Are your garden beds a jungle?
