Broadcast Hill boasts 50-acres of native prairie land and was the first purchase through the Open Space
Conservation Program here in Fort Worth in 2019. The plant shown in the foreground is white rosinweed (Silphium
albiflorum), which is an endemic Texas native prairie perennial. It has a very limited global range to only north
central Texas in the Fort Worth Prairie ecosystem. The Open Space Conservation Program aims to protect the
city’s high-quality natural areas providing environmental sustainability and enhance Fort Worth’s livability for
future generations.
