Master Naturalists help preserve original part of Great Plains along Bosque River Trail
Submitted by Peggy Tolboom
Have you ever stopped to wonder what is the meaning of Cross Timbers ?
Early European settlers called this part of Texas Cross Timbers because Post Oak forests used to cross strips of the Blackland Prairie. The Blackland Prairie is part of the Great Plains. Only small parts of the Great Plains still exist, having become farmlands and expanding development.
Fortunately, Stephenville has one of these small pieces, and it is wearing its spring beauty now. Located along the Bosque River Trail between Long Street and Washington Street, a prairie restoration is being established. By visiting, it is possible to get a glimpse of what used to cover 11.5 million acres of tall grass prairie where bison traveled through.
