Great Trinity Forest - large urban hardwood forest within city limits

The Great Trinity Forest, centered around the Trinity River floodplain in southeast Dallas, is one of the largest urban hardwood forests in the United States, encompassing roughly 6,000 acres within Dallas city limits. The Trinity River Audubon Center sits inside this floodplain and preserves riparian habitat and wetlands uncommon inside a major U.S. city's boundaries. The forest's extent creates a notable urban-to-wildland transition and periodic floodplain dynamics uncommon for central-city parks.
