 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. The City's Water Department is partnering with Botanical Institute of Texas for the third annual EcoScape Contest. We want to first off teach people how to be aware of how they're using their natural resource and water, and so we care about aesthetics. We want it to look beautiful. We would like for you to use smaller amounts of plant material, native or adapted plants, and other natural forms in the landscape. So it could also be rocks, it could be mulch, it could be fences and things like that. And we want you to use a smaller amount of water, obviously. Most of our water during the summer goes into outdoor watering and so we don't want people to think that we are restricting them from watering the plants, not at all, which is one of them to learn how to be more efficient. Even though we came out of the drought with all the rain we had lately, we still need to be efficient about water use. It's very important to be aware that there are lots of new people moving into our area and water is still a necessity for life and we need to be mindful about how we use it. So it's not that we're saying that, you know, there's a drought and this is all entirely about conservation. It really is about sustainability and keeping our communities healthy and happy and well sustained with water for the long run. The deadline is August 16th. Visit the EcoScape Contest website for more information. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.
