The Friends of Bachman Lake Greebelt Restoration was selected for special consideration under the Texan by Nature Conservation Wrangler Program. The mission of the Bachman Creek Greenbelt Restoration Project is to restore, steward, and activate the 58-acre greenbelt along Bachman Creek in Northwest Dallas by rebuilding native riparian habitat, improving water quality and flood resilience, enhancing biodiversity, and expanding equitable access to green space for surrounding historically underinvested neighborhoods.

A quick Bachman Greenbelt moment and a reminder to stay on the trails!

The Bachman Creek Greenbelt in Northwest Dallas is being transformed. Formerly overgrown with privet and impassable for decades, Friends of Bachman Lake and several partners like Greenspace Dallas have worked with Dallas Park and Recreation to restore these acres to their natural state. Accessible from the eastern end of Bachman Lake (behind the Embassy Suites on Northwest Highway) and from the cul-de-sac at Cochran Chapel Road, south of Northwest Highway and Midway Avenue, the Greenbelt is becoming a treasure. Enjoy a snippet of a leisurely stroll throuh the clearing, heading toward newly created paths.
