 The Fort Worth Open Space Conservation Program is dedicated to protecting our high quality natural areas throughout Fort Worth. Broadcast Hill was actually our first acquisition under the program. We're providing recreational areas where people can really interact with nature. One of the core missions of N-PAT, Native Prairie Association of Texas, is to educate. We believe strongly that the more our citizens understand the benefits and the beauty and the plight of our prairies, the more eager they will be to join in the fight. We're here at Tandy Hills and the Parks Department along with the friends of Tandy Hills have worked at this site for 13 years clearing 14 acres of privet. With this grant we can actually hire a contractor that specializes in mulching so we can get potentially anywhere from maybe 30 to 50 acres of privet treated in about a week. You can't tell it right this minute but you come here in April or May and there will be hundreds of people here with a camera and they want to stand in the middle of the wildflowers which is a big no-no. So signage helps so eventually these photographers get the idea that we just can't come here and do what we want. We have to just stand on the trail and put our clients on the trail. The Tandy Hills Natural Area Master Plan calls for an extensive natural surface sustainable trail. With the grant we want to connect what is in progress at Tandy Hills to Broadcast Hill. By connecting this trail system we'll be able to provide access to communities that don't have access to natural areas right now and really help improve their lives. North Texas Community Foundation Grant will allow us to make this site ready for public use and ensure that it's well maintained for years to come.
