The Connemara Conservancy invites you to join us as we celebrate the re-opening of the Connemara Meadow Preserve with INTO THE MEADOW, an elegant evening of food, fun and friends under the stars in the Connemara Meadow Preserve.
INTO THE MEADOW will bring together leading chefs and local farmers to create an outdoor feast befitting those of us who believe in Connemara’s mission of preserving and protecting the natural beauty in North Texas for both present and future generations.
Over the past decade, Texas has lost more acres of open space to development than any other state. By supporting INTO THE MEADOW you are helping support the efforts of the Connemara Conservancy as we help landowners, local governments and forward-thinking developers save important remaining landscapes.
Information on tickets or sponsorship opportunities to this one-of-a-kind event can be found here, and background information on the Connemara Conservancy can be found in the panel to the right. We hope that you will become part of the growing community of support for the our efforts and join us as a sponsor of INTO THE MEADOW. |

The Connemara Conservancy was founded in 1981 with an initial gift of 72 acres by Frances (Montgomery) Williams on the border of Allen and Plano called the Connemara Meadow Preserve, or simply, The Meadow.
Ahead of her time for the area, Frances became concerned that her family's land was in jeopardy of succumbing to the almost unstoppable "urban sprawl". By protecting the Meadow forever, Frances gave us the gift and opportunity to experience and understand Texas as it was, as it would be without us, and as we'd all want it to be. The Meadow will forever remain in its natural state as an open window to the environment where we live.
Connemara soon realized the need for large-scale conservation throughout the North Texas area. As a result, it became one of Texas' first land trusts, a qualified organization to hold conservation easements on private land in partnership with willing landowners. Connemara is now one of over 40 land trusts working to preserve natural lands throughout Texas. It is also the only regional land trust focusing solely on North Texas preservation. Our Mission
Connemara Conservancy works with landowners and communities who share our love of the land to protect and conserve the critical natural landscapes remaining throughout North Texas |
