What-So, I am dropping everything else from my to-do stack and moving this incoming Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area Press Release to the top of the stack.....
Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area (FOTHNA) are pleased to announce our Sponsorship of field trips to Tandy Hills Natural Area in collaboration with Fort Worth Independent School District (FWISD) and Fort Worth Parks and Community Service (PACS).
More than 140 Meadowbrook Elementary School 4th graders will participate in this pilot program at one of the few remaining native prairies in Fort Worth. Master Naturalists will lead the field trips, known as Field Investigations, in science, math, creative writing and art disciplines.
School budget cutbacks have curtailed field trip learning opportunities. FOTHNA, a private sector, non-profit organization, stepped up to help out with funds raised at Prairie Fest to help pay expenses. This will enable FWISD students to benefit from an outdoor learning experience at the160-acre, Tandy Hills Natural Area, near downtown Fort Worth.
