IMPORTANT NOTICE - This event has been cancelled due to all the wet weather, hot temperatures, and abundance of bugs. It will be rescheduled for later in the fall when the temperatures are more comfortable and the bugs are less active. 

Friends of Chandor Gardens are invited to a guided nature walk of the new Chandor Nature Trail

This 1/2 mile walk through the Chandor Nature Trail will be lead by Christie Tull who is a Cross Timbers Master Naturalist Class of 2020 trainee, a member of the Cross Timbers Native Plant Society, is in the 2021 Cross Timbers Urban Forestry training, and a member of the Friends of Chandor Gardens.

Meet in the parking lot of Chandor Gardens, as the trailhead is right off the parking lot.

Make sure to wear closed toe shoes, long pants, sun protection (sunscreen, sunglasses, hat), and bring water. It is also highly recommended that you put on insect repellant with at least 20% DEET, as the mosquitoes and ticks are very active after all the rain we have had this spring. 

For those who are interested in being able to identify flora and fauna along the trail we encourage you to download the free iNaturalist app. This app can easily be download onto a smart phone and provides the ability to quickly identify the name of what is being observed in nature. It is an excellent interactive tool for species identification, and it also allows users to actively participate in true research data collection.  iNaturalist (https://www.inaturalist.org/ ) - iNaturalist is a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society. It is “Nature at your fingertips.”
