Spring Creek Greenbelt is a large nature area running alongside Spring Creek in the northern sector of Garland, just south of the Bush Turnpike. Its four sections are all popular with families, hikers, and naturalists.
Spring Creek Forest Preserve was recently inducted into the Old-Growth Forest Network (OGFN). OFGN is the only national network in the U.S. of protected, old-growth, native forests and celebrates the oldest protected and publicly accessible forests. To date, 266 naturalists have collected 6,800 observations featuring over 980 species in our Preserve, and there are many more to find.
The Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest has been established to work with Dallas County and the City of Garland to nurture the spaces within the Preserve. Visit SpringcreekForest.org.
