Summary of Meeting
Jared Wood, the newly appointed Manager of the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, shared with the SSNA board the mission and boundaries of the nature center, and reviewed the process and plan for acquiring additional land surrounding the Nature Center.
The SSNA board shared their ideas to connect the Nature Center to Love Circle and Casino Beach. One suggestion is to open a second entrance to the Nature Center by way of an electronic gate if a bike/running trail were to be added to connect Love Park with the Nature Center. We discussed wildfire concerns due to businesses adjacent to the nature center property which have had fires in addition to the hazards posed by the homeless persons campfires under the bridge. Another safety issue discussed was that of the stumps north of the bridge, in which we agreed that a marked channel would reduce the potential of boats hitting stumps.
We had a great conversation. Jared mentioned that he appreciated that we reached out, and shared our ideas and visions for our area. He appreciated the meeting and the partnership, recommended that we talk with Allison Docker, the lead for Fort Worth's new Green Space Initiative and asked us to keep him apprised of further of planning.
