Let’s Reclaim Nature Together

Every dollar helps turn neglected land into a place where Dallas can breathe, explore, and connect with nature.

There is a side of Dallas that many people never see.

Beyond the highways and skyscrapers is the Trinity River Corridor—a vast network of forests, wetlands, waterways, and trails that is home to wildlife and holds enormous potential for our community.

But much of this land has been neglected, overgrown, littered with trash, or simply inaccessible.

Greenspace Dallas is changing that.

We are a small, boots-on-the-ground nonprofit that gets out into the woods and gets to work. We remove trash and invasive species. We restore trails. We build bridges, raised walkways, overlooks, and other amenities. We restore habitat. And we create opportunities for young people to learn what it means to care for the place they call home.

And the results are real.

🌿 More than 1 million pounds of trash and debris have been removed from Trinity River parks and natural areas.

🌿 11 acres of wetlands at Hines Park have been restored from a neglected, litter-filled area into a thriving habitat for native plants and wildlife.

🌿 Frasier Dam Recreation Area has been transformed from a neglected area into a place where people can hike, bike, fish, paddle, birdwatch, and experience nature.

🌿 We are continuing the transformation of L.B. Houston Nature Trails, creating a more accessible, welcoming natural space in the heart of North Texas.

But restoring a forest is about more than removing trash.

It is about creating a healthier city.

It is about giving a child a place to see a great blue heron for the first time.

It is about giving a family somewhere to walk together without leaving the city.

It is about protecting the forests and waterways that support wildlife and our communities.

It is about giving young people the chance to discover that conservation can be a career—and that they can be the people who protect our environment for the next generation.

And it is about making sure that access to nature isn't something you have to drive an hour outside Dallas to experience.

Your Donation Makes This Work Possible

Greenspace Dallas is powered by a small staff, dedicated trail crews, hundreds of volunteers, and generous supporters who believe that Dallas deserves beautiful, healthy, accessible natural spaces.

Your gift goes directly toward putting people and equipment on the ground where the work needs to happen.
