Presentation - The Trinity River - The Water Tie that Binds North Texas
Advertisement
There is only one river in North Texas: the Trinity. Once rejected and forgotten, paid attention to only when it floods, the Trinity is transforming from a place of refuse to refuge.
We’ll take a tour of the Trinity’s four forks—Clear, East, Elm, and West—exploring each one’s unique characteristics, plus the nature preserves and attractions they are home to. This riverine network is home to the Trinity River Paddling Trail, a National Park Service recreation trail with over 120 miles of floating fun.
The talk ends with a short romp through our river follies, like when the West Fork was called River of Death, the insane attempts to turn it into a barge canal, and the ludicrous idea to put a freeway in its floodplain that took over a decade to K*ll. Yet there are more river indignities in the works.
Please call 214-821-7400 to RSVP for this event. Seating limited to 35.
