Oak Point Nature Preserve Tour with Amy Martin

A native prairie remnant in the middle of Plano? Come experience the Blackland Prairie of Oak Point Park & Nature Preserve and recreate the walk in that adventure chapter of Wild DFW: Explore the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth with the author. (Book info: here)

We'll wander off trail through a prairie section east of Los Rios Blvd., take a paved trail underneath the thoroughfare, and connect with Old Morton Vale Rd (closed to traffic). Then we'll meander along a cute low wooden fence to explore a prairie remnant and prairie restoration that Carol Clark and Collin County NPSOT prevented from being developed into a concert facility, and cross Los Rios to return.

Where: Park on Acorn Dr near Abbotsford.  Maps link here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/baStRsuYoJYDbH5DA

Also: Wear long pants and sturdy shoes as it will be off trail and dirt trail. Sun visor or hat suggested as there's no shade. Pack plenty of water. Bug spray or sulfur for chiggers is prudent. No bathroom facilities along the route. iNaturalist observations appreciated.
