Come explore the Benbrook Environmentally Sensitive Area with us. This 700-acre site has been designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) by the Army Corps of Engineers. Part of the greater Fort Worth Prairie ecoregion, it offers views of the unspoiled grand prairie with riparian features.
There are a multitude of native prairie grasses and forbs. Seeing it in winter, spring, summer, and fall provides a better understanding of the ecosystem and an appreciation for nature’s beauty. It’s great for birders year-round and for those interested in looking for monarch caterpillars (in April & May).
We will walk about two miles, and you will need sturdy shoes and tick prevention/precautions. There will also be some rocky-ish ups and downs. Kim Conrow, a member of NPSOT and a Texas Master Naturalist, will lead the hike. Kim has been coming to the ESA for several years and is eager to share her knowledge of this area with us.
You do not need to be a NPSOT member to attend this event. Attendees will need to sign a liability and photo waiver. This is a FREE event!
Registration is limited to 20 people. You can sign up for one date, or all of them! Participants who complete all 4 will receive a certificate.
