Celebrate National Trails Day at OCNP by getting your hands dirty while cleaning up our preserve and maintaining the trails! In addition to the volunteer workday, we will be launching a new interactive trail map for mobile use!
Texas Land Conservancy acquired OCNP in 1999 and has continued to manage the preserve with the help of local partners like the Dallas Off-Road Bicycle Association (DORBA), North Texas Master Naturalists, and others. OCNP is a 121-acre urban preserve in the heart of Dallas that is enjoyed as a recreation destination by thousands of visitors each year, especially the mountain biking community and trail running clubs.
Please arrive by 8:45am to get registered and bring closed-toed shoes and a water bottle. Snacks provided by KIND Bars. If you have a favorite pair of work gloves or pruning tools (loppers or handsaws), please bring those as well. Youth volunteers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
In addition to individuals and families, we encourage you to bring a group from your church or local community organization and help us restore this urban treasure!
Sign up today and spread the word on Facebook!

Mission Statement
The mission of the Texas Land Conservancy is to create a diverse and expanding network of protected natural areas throughout the state by fostering a community of Texans who share a commitment to enhancing our quality of life through land conservation.
Description
Texas Land Conservancy was founded in 1982 by intrepid Dallas attorney Edward C."Ned" Fritz known by many as the Father of Texas Conservation. In response to the increasing demand on land and water for development, Ned realized there was need for a statewide land trust that would take on the preservation of lands both large and small, public and private especially in Texas, where the majority of land was and is still privately owned. Ned gathered a group of grassroots volunteers to establish a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, and the Natural Area Preservation Society (NAPA), now Texas Land Conservancy (TLC), was born. Today, thanks to the foresight of a few individuals, TLC has grown to be one of the oldest and largest land trusts in the state. TLC focuses on projects that are ecologically representative of each of Texas' ten eco-regions, and places high priority on lands connected to critical water resources and are home to threatened or endangered species.
