New funding for Oak Cliff greenbelt; Wildlife moving in; Alternatives to cotton

from NTX Now · host KERA News

KERA's growth and infrastructure reporter Pablo Arauz Peña talks about new funding for the long-awaited Five Mile Creek Greenbelt in south Oak Cliff. And as cities are growing, wildlife is moving in right alongside people. From bats and raccoons to coyotes and pigeons, animals are adapting to urban life in new ways. Also, American farmers grow a lot of cotton, but not as much as they used to. There is a plan to try to reverse that trend, though.
