Friends of Oak Cliff Parks || Bug Walk – with John Watts (AT)
Saturday, May 18, 2025 || 10:00 AM – 12:00 Noon CT
Description: Join us for a walk through the native prairie meadow and woods at the Kiest Conservation Area in Oak Cliff with entomologist, John Watts.
Our guide is John Watts, Entomologist at Texas Discovery Gardens. John is passionate about the biodiversity of this planet & tries to instill a greater appreciation for insects and native plants to the general public as a way to help conserve our dwindling natural resources.
The conservation area is an 88 acre tract of land with an island of native Texas prairie. Over 150 wildflower species were identified by master naturalist legend Jim Varnum eleven years ago.
We will be meeting in the recently completed outdoor classroom. Everyone is invited to attend, and there is no charge. Closed toed shoes are recommended. Water and insect repellant will be provided.
