Prairie Notes are monthly photo/journal observations from Tandy Hills Natural Area by Founder/Director, Don Young. They include field reports, flora and fauna sightings, and more, mixed with a scoop of dry humor and a bit of philosophy. They are available free to all who get on the FOTHNA email list.
Earth Day has a double significance for Friends of Tandy HIlls. On April 22, 1960, exactly 10 years before the founding of Earth Day, the Fort Worth City Council and Mayor Tom McCann agreed to purchase the land now known as Tandy Hills Natural Area.
