Calling all Blackland Prairie Texas Master Naturalists and our local community!
There is a unique kind of peace found in slowing down to notice the small details of the natural world. We invite you to join us for an afternoon at Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve, where the only thing on the menu is identifying the beautiful flora and fauna that call Plano home using the iNaturalist smartphone app.
