🌿 Tomorrow is North Texas Giving Day! 🌿

Cedar Ridge Preserve is more than a place to hike. It’s a place to explore, learn, volunteer, discover wildlife, and experience a little bit of wild North Texas right here in our community. 💚

Tomorrow, you can help us continue caring for this special place.

Your support helps make possible:

🥾 Trail maintenance and improvements
🌱 Conservation of native habitats
🐢 Protection of North Texas wildlife
🔬 Nature education and community programs
🤝 Volunteer conservation projects

Whether you’ve hiked our trails for years, brought your children to explore, volunteered with us, or simply believe that wild spaces are worth protecting, tomorrow is your opportunity to make an impact.

🌳 Mark your calendar. North Texas Giving Day is TOMORROW!

This morning our Expeditions group explored the geology of our area. They learned about limestone and shale, used shells to make imprint fossils in clay and became fossil hunters! Most of them had about 20 chocolate chips in their granola bars! "Digging out fossils is hard work!"
