Perfect weather and breathtaking views greeted each guest of the Friends of the Fort Worth Nature Center (FONC) at their inaugural Sunset Event, co-chaired by George Bristol and Marty Leonard. Honoring Ralph Duggins, Chairman of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission, the event raised community awareness and funds to help preserve, protect and conserve the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge for future generations. A $200,000 Recreational Trails Grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife was announced – the first grant to Fort Worth in many years. We are so privileged to work with Executive Director, Haily Summerford, and her board during this important time in the life of FONC.
