Join us for an extraordinary conversation with David Marquis, founder of the Oak Cliff Nature Preserve and author of The River Always Wins. David shares the riveting story of how a 7 a.m. phone call and a red-tailed hawk inspired him to save 120 acres of pristine green space in Oak Cliff. Discover how he navigated community resistance, city politics, and a race against time to create a sanctuary for wildlife and residents alike.
