North Central Texas, where nature + economic development happens (Eco-Tourism)

Dallas-based non-profit Trinity Coalition, in working with the National Park Service, has led the Trinity River to be designated as the first Texas-based National Water Trail. This is a major and coveted accomplishment! Their next goal is to make North Central Texas into the planet’s foremost nature-oriented urban area.  

The Trinity Coalition has created a mapping tool that will allow local residents and visitors to explore nature, either through self-guided tours or with Trinity Coalition’s trained tour guides. This tool provides great potential for eco-tourism and benefits to economic development.

When the World Cup comes to DFW next year, Trinity Coalition intends to use its mapping tool to encourage visitors to get into our nature. The economic growth potential of rebranding DFW into the world’s best urban-nature areas is significant, for both tourists and workers/companies considering coming here. During this webinar, Trinity Coalition’s founder and board president Stephen S. Smith will conduct a rollout of their interactive nature-experience mapping tool, with over 100 places to go and things to do.
