As the population of North Texas increases, so does transportation demand and the need to enhance opportunities for North Texans to learn about and have input on the future of mobility options in the region.

At public meetings June 9-11 in Carrollton, Fort Worth and Arlington, planners will discuss efforts to advance transportation plans and engage more North Texans in the overall transportation planning process.

The Fort Worth Water Department, BRIT, and NBC5 are partnering to sponsor the second annual EcoScape residential summer landscape contest to find the homeowner with the most creative, attractive, and water efficient lawn in the area. The contest runs from June 14 to August 16 and will be judged on three key criteria:

1.     Design – aesthetic appeal; composition; use of color and plant variety;

2.     Water Conservation – efficient irrigation/water use; use of non-vegetative materials such as fences, walls, walks, etc.; use of native and/or adapted plants; reduced turf area; and use of mulches; and

3.     Appropriate Maintenance – healthy landscape, no weeds; plants pruned as appropriate.

Big Springs is one of the crown jewels of the Great Trinity Forest and is NOT GENERALLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

When:

We will have two sessions 

May 31, Sunrise (6am) to 10am.

May 3, 5pm to Sunset.

Make one or both  (RSVP separately for each session).

Note: The morning session is listed at 7am on Meetup because that is the earliest time it allows in their system. Someone will be there by 6am before the sunrise, and people are welcome to arrive before 7am if they want to photograph the sunrise.

About Big Spring

Big Spring is a natural free flowing spring that has supported life in the immediate area for 700+ years. Legend has it, that Sam Houston stopped there once, and the area was home to many of Dallas's pioneering families, including its longtime stewards, the amazing Zada and Bill Pemberton.
