Venise Stuart, a civic volunteer from Highland Park, said she proudly supports TCA’s stewardship of the Turtle Creek Corridor each year.
The association provides trash removal, creek bank restoration, landscaping, tree care, graffiti removal, public safety coordination, beautification projects, and public art installations.
“It’s a small but mighty organization that plays a huge role in protecting, enhancing, and advocating for one of the most beautiful and historic green spaces in Dallas.”
How did you get involved with this nonprofit?
I first got involved with TCA around three years ago, initially as a community volunteer and donor. Over time, I saw the visible impact this organization was having on both the environment and quality of life in our city. That motivated me to take a more active role —whether through events, advocacy, or leadership support.
Why do you support it today?
TCA’s work is more important than ever. As Dallas grows, the demand on our urban green spaces increases — and without TCA, much of Turtle Creek would fall into neglect. I support it today because I believe clean, safe, and beautiful public spaces aren’t just amenities — they’re essentials for a livable, healthy city. And TCA delivers those results every day, quietly and efficiently.
What would you say to someone else considering a donation to the nonprofit this year?
Your gift — no matter the size — directly impacts the creek, trails, and green space that so many people and wildlife depend on. If you’ve ever walked, biked, driven past, or admired Turtle Creek, you’ve already benefited from TCA’s work. Give back to the space that gives so much to Dallas. You’ll see the results with your own eyes.
