Join Dallas College Sustainability for their weekly Sustainable U Webinar Series. All webinars are FREE! Texas is a prairie state from east to west, encompassing unique prairie ecosystems that underlie much of Texan pride. However, much of the prairie in the state has been lost to agricultural conversion and urban expansion. In the Blackland Prairie ecosystem, where Dallas is located, less than 1% of the former prairie remains. Learn how the Native Prairies Association of Texas is working to conserve vulnerable grasslands, such as the Blackland Prairie, and how you can help preserve Texas’ natural heritage.
