We are here and so are the new plants! Bring your gardening tools and help us get these beautiful natives in the ground! We’ll be here from 9:00-12:00, or until they’re all planted.

Join us tomorrow (Saturday, 5/9) from 9am to noon as we plant over 100 native plants in the large garden at OS Gray Natural Area! The parks department worked hard to prep the area by removing weeds and previous plantings, tilling the soil, and adding compost and mulch. They’ve also installed several large boulders. Tomorrow morning they’ll deliver plants to fill the area. Once everything is planted there will be pathways through the garden for park visitors to enjoy. We can’t wait for you to see it!

Join us tomorrow from 9am-noon for our monthly community day! The weather will be great for working on various projects including: cleaning up and weeding the pollinator garden, pulling invasive privet, picking up trash, and more. Make new friends, accrue some volunteer hours, and enjoy improving and maintaining our beautiful park. We hope to see you there!

One of our favorite days of the year! 🌳 Last week, we paid our annual visit to O.S. Gray Natural Area in Arlington, TX, donating our tree care services to better the ecological health of this beautiful local ecosystem.

It's going to be a rainy one tomorrow, so we have decided to cancel our Great Backyard Bird Count event, as well as our monthly community day. If you are interested in participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count at home, please visit https://www.birdcount.org/participate/. It's a fun and easy way to interact with nature and contribute to science. 🐦

Brrr! We hope our park friends are warm and cozy in this icy weather! A couple of our volunteers braved the elements to visit the O.S. Gray Natural Area this morning. It is beautiful and quiet, the animals hunkered down and the trees and plants covered in layers of ice and snow. Stay safe out there, friends! ❄️

Hello, friends! Someone’s sweet kitty is missing. 😢 Visitors and neighbors, be on the lookout for her and call the number listed if spotted. We hope she makes it home safely!

We ask everyone to please help keep our park kiosk looking nice and in good shape by not stapling things to it.

FOOSGNA wishes you all a great weekend and holiday week ahead! 🍂 🥧
