Review & FAQ:
The Spring Creek Forest Preserve was established in 1988 when Dallas County bought 69 acres of land for preservation. Credit goes to Bobby Scott, who in 1978 discovered the uniqueness of this forest. He was a self-taught botanist who identified some of the woods as a virgin forest. Mr. Scott and colleague, Edward Fritz, studied the area further and later submitted a proposal to the City of Garland to preserve the land. Thanks to the both of them, visitors today can enjoy the spring water stream and the interpretive walking trail describing the richness of the preserve’s ecological features.
