The Friends of O.S. Gray Natural Area are on a pecan tree hunt. 

They’re looking for something unique – six varieties of pecan trees patented by O.S. Gray, an Arlington nurseryman and namesake of the park.

Gray, whose plant nursery operated in Arlington from 1932 to 1986, was an innovative pecan tree grower and expert.

About 15 dwellings are planned for the Wildflower Ecovillage, formerly known as the DFW Ecovillage, on this 70-acre property in Greenville, northeast of Dallas. Photos courtesy of Wildflower Ecovillage.
