Shoreline Spruce-up - Dallas

The second Saturday of every month is Second Saturday Shoreline Spruce-Up at White Rock Lake Park. Join the clean-up effort put on by For the Love of the Lake and our Adopt-A-Shoreline groups, never missing a month since April 1996!

Newcomers are welcomed and all meet between 8 to 9 a.m. at the FTLOTL office in Casa Linda Plaza, Buckner & Garland Road (facing Buckner). Come on out nice and early on Second Saturdays, have some refreshments, get some exercise, meet a great group of folks (if we do say so ourselves), and help us keep the shores of White Rock Lake clean and sparkling! Here are all the facts you should need to know …

We’ll have a yummy “continental breakfast” for you featuring hot Starbucks coffee, goodies from Great Harvest Bread Co., Highland Park Cafeteria, and Marsue’s Kitchen, delicious orange juice and rich chocolate milk from Schepps Dairy, and refreshing Rain Fresh bottled water.

We also provide all of your Spruce-Up supplies, including trash bags (courtesy of Keep Texas Beautiful), recycling bags (courtesy of City of Dallas Recycling Department), and latex gloves.

August Dollar Days at the Trinity River Audubon Center - Dallas

It’s hot. We all know that. It’s summer time in Texas. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
have fun outdoors. And, the Trinity River Audubon Center makes it even easier to do so
by reducing admission fees to only $1 – anytime, all the time, during August!
 
That’s right, all admission fees are reduced to $1 for the entire month. It doesn’t matter
whether you’re an adult, child, or senior. Whether you’re here to hike, study the exhibit
hall, or go birding. Your admission fee is ONLY $1. Any day, any time!
 
And, it’s a great time to take advantage. Why? Because the Center offers a little bit of
everything for the whole family. Like a little exercise – come hike our 4 – 5 miles of
trails. While you’re hiking, learn a bit about your local environment – the Great Trinity
Forest, the Trinity River, the Blackland prairie, and more. 
 
Want to enjoy the cool indoors? Then explore our exhibit hall and examine turtles, fish,
and bullfrogs. Listen to bird calls, discover the power of water, and study the history of
