Guide:  Amy Martin, author, photographer, & Texas Master Naturalist

Location:  Elm Fork Nature Preserve is at 2335 Sandy Lake Road, Carrollton, TX
(located inside McInnish Park). Coming from Dallas, take the Sandy Lake Road exit from I-35E, go west about a mile to McInnish park then follow signs to the preserve parking lot

Description:  Come join the North Texas MN Chapter on a Joint Hike with our chapter at the Elm Fork Nature Preserve led Amy Martin Tuesday November 11th 9:30-11:30am followed by a tour of their nature center and BYOBox lunch on the deck.

If you have never been to the Elm Fork Nature Preserve in Carrollton, you will see a unique historical setting with wetlands, hardwood forest and a large pond near the Trinity River.

The Elm Fork Nature Preserve was purchased in 1861 by the Bramblitt Family,  as a Wood-right. The land was never clear-cut and in 1986 the 40 acres were given to the city of Carrollton as a self-contained ecosystem, virtually undisturbed. The Preserve features an Interpretive Center with a nature education library.
