CANCELED due to flooding but will be rescheduled: A Walk on the Trinity Skiline Trail with Scot Miller! 

Guided Walk with World Renowned Photographer, past Lecturer at Harvard

 

Event canceled. We are so sorry to report this to everyone who signed up for this lovely morning walk. Unfortunately mother nature has decided to convert our trail into a ... river. That is just part of the natural process in the Trinity River basin. This will be rescheduled. Please stay tuned!  Please contact Rebecca Posten if you have any questions at Rebecca_posten@yahoo.com
 

This is a very special and unique opportunity to learn about Dallas' exceptional natural resource, the Trinity River basin, with a long-time advocate and knowledgeable guide, world-famous photographer Scot Miller. Many don't know that we have 10,000 acres of wild open spaces along the Trinity River and Trinity Forest, which is the largest urban hardwood forest in the country. (For more information, Click Here for a short film “A Word for Wild Dallas” created by Scot to help educate, and spur interest and conversation. https://youtu.) While walking along a portion of the Trail we will learn more about this natural treasure and we will be stopping along the way to observe the flowers and birds. There are likely to be cricket players in the park, too! Come discover a small part of Wild Dallas in this amazing greenbelt in the heart of the city. Few people really know what's down by the river today. You’ll be certain to walk away impressed and motivated to know more about efforts to preserve and protect the 10,000 acres of Wild Dallas. 

Don't forget to bring your camera, too!
