Located 16 miles south of downtown Dallas in Cedar Hill, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. Nowhere in North Texas can one find a greater variety of rare species than in Dogwood Canyon. Plants and animals from east, west and central Texas converge here, making the Canyon the only place in the world where one can find the Black-chinned Hummingbird of west Texas nesting in the flowering dogwood tree of east Texas.

The talk is free with admission to the museum.

Off the Beaten Path - Fort Worth

Off the Beaten Path: Summer is not typically the most desired time to go hiking in North Central Texas. However, if you prepare in advance with cooler clothes, water and a shaded trail, you can enjoy an excursion.

We have a path where you will be completely covered with shade and it is a trail that gets overlooked all the time. Join us and discover this hidden treasure that is off the beaten path.

$5 (with paid admission)/MEMBERS FREE.
