SUMMARY:The Trinity River: A Home to Natural Wonders
DESCRIPTION:Imagine a concrete\, stench-radiating canal lined with industri
 al activity from north of downtown Dallas all the way to the Gulf of Mexic
 o. Such was to be the Trinity River’s fate.   \nThen Alan Steelman united
  an unusual coalition of fiscally conservative Republicans along with envi
 ronmentalists led by Ned Fritz for his dark-horse race for Congress. Learn
  Alan’s story of how he won against overwhelming odds and saved the Trinit
 y.  \nToday\, the Trinity River boasts parks\, preserves\, and paddling tr
 ails that Dallas author Amy Martin shares in her new book  Wild DFW: Explo
 re the Amazing Nature Around Dallas-Fort Worth. \n   Treat yourself to a f
 ree viewing of Living with the Trinity \, a KERA-produced documentary\, fo
 llowed by a presentation from Amy Martin at 7:30 p.m. Monday\, October 30\
 , at the Allen Public Library. \n “There is only one river in North Texas:
  the Trinity\,” Amy Martin declares. “The Trinity’s four forks and major c
 reek tributaries are home to the largest nature preserves. The river and i
 ts reservoirs provide the region's primary water source.  Once rejected an
 d forgotten\, paid attention to only when it flooded\, valued solely for i
 ts ability to carry toxic trash downstream\, the Trinity now is transformi
 ng. The rise of river recreation\, from shoreline paths to paddlers\, is r
 eclaiming the river\, changing it from a place of refuse to refuge.” \nIn
  Collin County\, two magnificent natural amenities abut Rowlett Creek\, wh
 ich is a major tributary to the Trinity River. Connemara Conservancy\, a 7
 2-acre natural oasis\, and Suncreek Forest\, one of only a few natural for
 ests featuring trees over 150 years old. \nCan’t be there in person? The p
 rogram will also be streamed live on ACTV. Find viewing options at  Watch
  ACTV  or view online at   ACTV.org  or  YouTube.com/AllenCityTV \nThe lib
 rary is located at 300 N. Allen Dr. Call 214-509-4911 for additional infor
 mation.\nAllen Public Library\n300 N. Allen Dr. Allen Tx\nAllen\, TX\, TX
