Join us for the opening session of an environmental workshop focused on real solutions for North Texas. Longtime advocate David Marquis sets the stage with an honest look at our region’s most urgent issues: rapid urban growth affecting our watershed, the loss of over 99% of the blackland prairie, and growing biodiversity threats. Katherine Gara, chair of the Dallas Environmental Commission, explains how the commission supports the city’s climate action efforts and why this event is designed for active participation, not passive listening.
