Head southeast about 40 minutes from Richardson to explore the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center, located in the middle of the North Texas Municipal Water District’s (NTMWD) 2,000-acre East Fork Wetland Project. The project provides a unique, natural process that helps purify Richardson’s water supply (and that of other NTMWD member cities) while at the same time creating a wildlife habitat and enhancing the environment. Walk the Center’s boardwalks with a guided tour every third Saturday of each month and learn about this special ecosystem’s flora and fauna and the fascinating history of the property.
Wear a hat, close-toed shoes, bring some insect repellent and a water bottle.
No reservations required. (Groups of eight or more, contact the center at 972-474-9100.)
