About Us
Groundwork Dallas was founded in 2005 as a nonprofit organization and is one of fourteen (14) approved Local Trusts in the Groundwork USA network (http://www.groundworkusa.net/). Groundwork USA is an initiative of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Brownfields Program and the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program.
The mission of Groundwork Dallas is: To
accomplish and secure the sustained regeneration, improvement and
management of the physical environment for the Great Trinity Forest and
its gateway communities.
Groundwork will do this by organizing, developing, and implementing
community-based partnerships that empower people, businesses, and
organizations to promote environmental, economic, and social
well-being.
Our strategy and
action plans call for us to improve access to the Great Trinity Forest by
planning, constructing and maintaining nature trails, multi-use
recreational trails and trail amenities in the Great Trinity Forest. We
also sponsor and coordinate clean-ups and beautification projects in and
around South Dallas’ neighborhoods, parks, waterways, and brownfields
areas. By doing so, we will promote eco-tourism and economic development
in the City’s southern sector.
