Ideal/Bonton Nature Community Outreach

Our chapter will provide outreach to South Dallas citizens residing in zip code 75215, the Ideal/Bonton community. Educational outreach to this underserved community next to the Buckeye Trail and Great Trinity Forest through summer nature classes, public school learning experiences, senior education, and other community and educational centers.

Previous classes introduced a weekly nature topic in a classroom setting, which was followed by a field trip to reinforce what had been taught. Project partners include TR Hoover Community Center, Educational First Steps School, and field trip sites at Trinity River Audubon Center, John Bunker Sands Wetlands, Dallas Parks Buckeye Trail, and City of Dallas McCommas Bluff Landfill.

Volunteers assist with classroom and field trip activities
