We are thrilled to share that the Diamond Eagles Society has selected the UNT Pollinative Prairie to receive $77,500 in funding for a new expansion project that will enhance outdoor learning, conservation, and community event opportunities at the four-acre site at UNT's Discovery Park. The funding will support the development of the "Diamond Eagles Community and Learning Area," which includes construction of a large covered pavilion, observational dock, signage, and an accessible walkway to offer a more enjoyable experience while visitors are learning, researching, or simply relaxing at the prairie and adjoining pond.
