Chisholm Trail Park is located in southwest Fort Worth, Texas. It is owned by the City of Fort Worth & features a community center, playground, skate park, soccer fields, fishing dock & cement trails. The active use areas of the park are concentrated in the southern portion of the property, thus leaving the north as passive use with trails to view the prairie.

The park highlights the Fort Worth Prairie ecosystem, which is couched between the Eastern & Western Cross Timbers on either side & runs north to the Red River & south to the Brazos River. This prairie system is unique in that it sits atop bench topography with underlying Cretaceous limestone. Seeps create micro-habitats that provide for hydrologic functions that are not well explored in North Texas. The Fort Worth Prairie is home to many endemic species such as pale leaf yucca (Yucca pallida) & Engelmann's sage (Salvia engelmannii).

The goal of this project is to document all species at this park as a representation of the surrounding prairie, which is slated for development in the coming years. less ↑
