2022 Walks

• September 25, 2022, 1787 Holford – Tom Hendrick will take us Geocaching in the Preserve, including “how-to geocache” for those who need it. Tom has been geocaching since 2013 and has found geocaches around the world (17 countries, 41 US States).
  • The Society is hosting this walk to support of the new Garland History Geo Tour that launches September 17 in downtown Garland. The Geo Tour is a family friendly experience that will take you on a history filled adventure around the city. You will explore Garland’s historic downtown, many of Garland’s parks including our own Spring Creek Preserve and other historically significant locations across the city.

• October 23, 2022, Halff Park at Ranger Drive – Bill Holston will take you on a hike through the Big Trees. Some of our Preserve’s largest trees are found on the dirt trail that starts from Halff Park, heads deep into the woods toward Spring Creek and loops back to come out near the GISD event center. The hike is about 2 miles. It will walk through some of the second growth forest and access the part of the Forest featuring some of the largest oaks, as well as understory trees like Mexican Plum and Eastern Wahoo. He writes about his adventures in a column for D magazine, Law Man Walking, and also penned the Ultimate Hiking Guide to Dallas for D Magazine. Bill's day job is a human rights lawyer at the Human Rights Initiative of North Texas.
