Tandy Hills Natural Area

...a 220-acre indigenous prairie remnant located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas.

WHAT WE DO

We promote the conservation and restoration of Tandy Hills Natural Area (THNA) as a rare remaining example of native prairie that is indigenous to much of the Fort Worth area.

We strive to increase awareness of the importance of protecting and preserving natural areas through community engagement, various outdoor education programs and volunteer opportunities.

Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, and as vital to our lives as water and good bread. A civilization which destroys what little remains of the wild, the spare, the original, is cutting itself off from its origins and betraying the principle of civilization itself.

TANDY HILLS LEXICON

For newcomers to Tandy Hills, I've created a Lexicon of Tandy Hills, from A to Z, to demonstrate in a few photos the amazing diversity of flora and fauna present in this one-of-a-kind place. We hope it inspires you to help us protect and preserve it and, if you can, to Become a Friend of Tandy Hills with a tax-deductible donation.
