From local brewmasters and chefs, to fun and funky places to party, Hops For Habitat is great way to experience some of the best things North Texas has to offer.
Additional Hops for Habitat events are scheduled for June, August, December and February 2013 at dates and locations to be announced later.
The Connemara Conservancy Foundation (CCF) was created in 1981 when Frances Williams donated her family's beloved 72-acre meadow for public use as the Foundations’s initial property under a Conservation Land Trust.
For several years, the Foundation focused much of its work on education programs in the meadow until Mrs. Williams and the Connemara Board of Trustees identified a need to expand the conservation efforts to include more tracts of land in North Texas. Today, the Connemara Conservancy Foundation protects almost 4,000 acres of open space throughout North Texas.
