Turtle Creek’s mission…
The Turtle Creek Association is dedicated to protecting, preserving, and enhancing Turtle Creek, a vital environmental asset to the Dallas area. Turtle Creek is more than just a neighborhood feature; it's a crucial component of the city’s stormwater management, air quality, and climate resilience.
Our work extends beyond local boundaries, impacting the overall health and sustainability of Dallas. With a comprehensive masterplan in place, we're poised to implement significant environmental improvements. However, achieving these goals requires community support.
By joining and donating to the Turtle Creek Association, you're not just supporting a local cause; you're investing in the future resilience and environmental health of our city. Help us make a real difference—become a member and contribute today
Toby the Turtle stands as the distinguished symbol of the Turtle Creek Association, emblematic of our commitment to the preservation, protection, and enhancement of Turtle Creek. Originally an unnamed mascot, Toby was christened by the daughter of J.D. Trueblood, President and CEO of the Turtle Creek Association, marking a new chapter in our organization’s story.
As the central figure of our logo, Toby not only represents our efforts but also personifies the spirit of community and conservation. In his honor, we have instituted the "Toby’s Scavenger Hunt," an engaging and educational experience designed to deepen public understanding of the creek’s vital role in our ecosystem.
Toby has evolved from a mere mascot to embody the core values and mission of the Turtle Creek Association, fostering a sense of unity and kinship among our members and the broader community. Through Toby, we extend a warm invitation to all to join us in not only preserving a natural treasure but also in cultivating a nurturing and inclusive environment.

The azalea luncheon - A blooming success
The rain may have been falling on April 2nd, but the spirits of our guests were anything but dampened at the Third Annual Azalea Luncheon, held at the stunning Joule Hotel in downtown Dallas. This sold-out event proved once again that spring’s magic—and our community’s generosity—shines through, rain or shine.
We are also deeply grateful for the support and presence of all our special guests, sponsors, and members of the TCA community. The Azalea Luncheon continues to grow as one of the most anticipated events of the season—and a vital fundraiser for our mission to preserve, protect, and enhance the beauty and sustainability of Turtle Creek.
TCA Makes Major Progress in the Fairmount Ave Ravine and Beyond...
We’re excited to share that the third and final phase of the Fairmount Avenue Ravine restoration has been completed! This phase focused on the removal of several large fallen trees—a major undertaking given both the size of the trees and the steep, rugged terrain Parks and Rec crew had to navigate. Despite the challenges, the transformation has been phenomenal to see, and it’s making a noticeable impact on the area.
