One Step Closer!!

We are one step closer to bringing back the 450+ goats and sheep to the Northaven Trail this October- thanks to our wonderful sponsors.

All 57 wildflower areas along the trail have been claimed by a sponsor!!! This means they will all be grazed in preparation for their 2027 wildflowers. Grazing replaces mowing with the added benefits that their hooves break up the soil, that they remove (instead of add to) the thatch layer, and that their digestion helps with the germination of native seeds.

Here is our list of wonderful sponsors. Please take a moment to thank them:

Current estimated start date is Oct 2.

Question to Trail Managers on AllTrails

The Northaven Trail is a nine-mile trail through North Dallas. The Friends of Northaven Trail is a nonprofit volunteer group that looks after the trail.

We have 900+ reviews and a 4.5 star rating on AllTrails.

I would love to hear from others who look after trails about how they get the most out of the app. What data do you find useful? Can we insert any of this data onto our website? https://northaventrail.org

Yes, it is HOT outside! We will have a shade tent, cold drinks and misting fans on site to keep you cool(er)!

Come help us take care of our wildflower meadow. We need your support removing invasive weeds, planting some new flowers, and tidying up the native wildflower meadows just west of Inwood Road.

Park at the Inwood Parking lot (11373 Inwood Rd) and walk west, you'll see us!

Bring lots of water. Wear sunscreen, long pants, and closed toed shoes.
