4th Sunday Nature Walk: Bill Holston - Find New Trails into the Forest out of Halff Park

Location: Halff Park at Ranger Drive
Since the destruction of part of the forest near Halff Park, it can be difficult to find your way through for a peaceful walk. But there are still huge trees and wild spaces. Bill will show you the best way to find them and navigate the area.
Note that due to the construction, for your safety, we might have to change the location of Bill’s walk. Please check our website or Facebook page for last minute information.
Bill is a lawyer, and also a great friend of our Forest. He has written several columns about this special place for D Magazine under the title “Law Man Walking”. See D Magazine’s 6 Best Hikes in Dallas.
On July 11, 2025, shortly after the road destruction was discovered, Bill wrote an article on Spring Creek Forest for his D Magazine "Law Man Walking" column. Although we now know that using the word “Accidentally” was incorrect, the article is still a wonderful description of the forest and how much more was lost than trees.
