We welcome anyone who has discovered the beauty and wildness of Oak Cliff Nature Preserve (OCNP) and is interested in helping make it a better place for our community. Start sharing your love of OCNP from your phone/tablet/computer or at the preserve. There is plenty to do, and lots of ways to get involved!
Oak Cliff Nature Preserve (2875 Pierce St, Dallas) is a 121-acre oasis of green space located right in the middle of urban Dallas. It was protected from impending development in 1999. There are over eight miles of multi-use hike and bike trails coursing through the Preserve. Bird and plant enthusiasts, bicycle riders of all ages, and those just wishing for peace and quiet visit the preserve to connect with nature. The trails are open from dawn until dusk, but check DORBA’s website for wet-weather closures.
Texas Land Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and relies on the support of our donors, volunteers, and supporters to keep OCNP open and accessible. Please consider making a donation to help keep OCNP a thriving urban oasis for the Dallas community.
While COVID has restricted our ability to host volunteer workdays at OCNP, you can adopt a section of the preserve and help us keep the trails safe and beautiful for everyone. Trail Ambassadors who sign up for this program will be given a small section of the preserve to monitor and maintain for the rest of the year. This involves picking up trash and letting us know of any issues on the trails.
Fill out the form below to be added to our OCNP Volunteer e-mail list. You will be contacted with instructions soon.
Because of the restrictions to in-person events these days, it is more important than ever that we have help spreading our message virtually and on social media. By becoming an OCNP Trail Ambassador, we hope that you will help amplify our story and engage others to know, love, and protect the preserve. When you share your experiences at OCNP and help spread our messages to your friends and family, you are helping to build community around the trails and encourage people to take care of the wild places in their backyard.
We want to know more about you and why you love OCNP. Fill out the questionnaire by August 31st and you’ll be entered to win a free TLC t-shirt!
