Hey everybody,

I'm a member of the North Central Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NCNPSOT) and we had a speaker come talk last night to talk about the Tarrant Regional Water District... long story short they have a man-made wetlands to clean the Trinity River water that pumped through the wetlands and eventually into Richland-Chambers Reservoir. It was truly beautiful, and I think its mostly native plants.

I sent him an email about going out there to get a down and dirty tour for those interested. Due to the location we could probably invite people from Houston. You would need waders, and I think if we wanted we could have some cast nets or use the ones they use to collect fish to show the school children.

Anyone think this sounds fun?

I was thinking of trying my hand at making a north Texas wetland biotope tank, they will probably let us collect the plants, and he even mentioned us "working" on something if we wanted.
