Naturally Fort Worth!
Within parks and open spaces, Natural Areas are designated zones where management is focused on conservation and the health of native ecosystems. Management for these areas includes a reduction or elimination of mowing to protect habitats such as streams, prairies, and woodlands. A combination of tools—including prescribed fire, grazing, annual mowing, and the mechanical or chemical removal of invasive species—is employed to effectively steward these areas and enhance wildlife habitat.
