The Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA) is using nomadic animals (bison) to help restore the tall grass prairie the area had some 200 years ago before people settled. "Our goal is to get this back to the condition it was in about 200 years ago, before settlement," said Ken Steigman, LLELA director.   You might think that buffalo roam freely here, but bison herds are an uncommon site in North Texas. The Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area director hopes that the bisons' grazing will invigorate the natural plant life.   Come check the bison heard out. LLELA hosts tours of the bison on the last Sunday of each month.

Summer is just around the corner and that means, for most kids, schools out.  What to do it you are working outside or inside of your home? I try to find lots of summer activities nearby for my son.  I try to allow him to go to camps that will teach him something new.  Whether it's a week long day camp at a horse ranch, learning about horses, art camp, or even a class that might improve some of his skills in preparation for the next school semester (those aren't his favorites), finding things for kids to do is essential to the working mom. Whooping canes on Lake Lewisville Although my son is just a bit old for this camp, I've found a summer day camp that's offered at the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area for children 7-12 years old. on the weeks of June 13-17 and June 27-July...

A friend of mine posted on Facebook that it's the little things that make her happy. This time, it's that the city of Lewisville is moving to once-a-week recycling instead of every two weeks.  Starting the week of April 4, you can start putting your recycling bin by the curb with your regular trash.  You are still bound by the list of acceptable items but now you can start getting more aggressive with your glass and aluminum! Check out the City of Lewisville website for the schedule. Photo from here

There is a billboard that is off a major highway, I-35E North just before the Lake Lewisville bridge, visible for everyone to see.  There are approximately 170-180,000 vehicles a day that travel in front of this billboard!  It is an ad for a new erotic store in Lewisville.   Would you want this in your community???
