Visitors who show up with a single plastic bottle or a single-use plastic bag can get into two Fort Worth nature spots without paying this weekend, through Sunday, Nov. 15.
The Fort Worth Botanic Garden and the Fort Worth Nature Center & Refuge are among the sites taking part in a Texas Recycles Day promotion that H-E-B is sponsoring, NBC 5 reported. The offer started Friday, Nov. 13. Each person needs their own item, and bottles or bags from any store count, according to NBC 5.
H-E-B's newsroom says the grocer is covering free admission at 20 nature centers around the state over the three days.
At the Nature Center
The refuge, a division of the City of Fort Worth's Park and Recreation Department, covers about 3,700 acres, according to its website. Its admission page says to bring an empty plastic water bottle or plastic grocery bag to the gatehouse. Regular admission is $6 for adults ages 13 to 64, $3 for seniors and $2 for children ages 3 to 12.
NBC 5 reported the refuge's hours during the promotion as 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and the center's site says no one is admitted after 4 p.m.
At the Botanic Garden
The Botanic Garden opens at noon on Saturday, Nov. 14, according to NBC 5. Its outdoor areas include the Rose Garden and the Japanese Garden.
