1,000 Hands Campaign 

The LLELA Team is launching the 1,000 Hands Campaign, a community initiative focused on strengthening our community’s connection to nature and the outdoors. This spring and summer, we are working to engage 1,000 hands in outdoor experiences that inspire curiosity, stewardship, and appreciation for the natural world.

Each “hand” represents someone who has taken part in a meaningful outdoor interaction—whether that’s learning something new, exploring a trail, volunteering time, or participating in a hands-on nature activity. Together, these experiences help build a stronger relationship between our community and the natural spaces that make Lewisville special.

Our Goal

Our goal is simple: engage 1,000 hands in outdoor activities and experiences that connect people with nature. Through programs at the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA), Nature on Wheels outreach events, volunteer opportunities, and visits to Lewisville’s parks and natural spaces, we hope to inspire residents and visitors to step outside, explore, and participate.

How to Participate

Getting involved is easy. You can add your hand to the mission by:

  • Attending a Nature on Wheels outreach event
  • Participating in LLELA outdoor programs and educational activities
  • Volunteering through Service Saturdays or partner conservation projects
  • Visiting and exploring LLELA or Lewisville’s natural parks and green spaces
  • Meeting our team at community events and pop-ups and posing for a photo to officially add your hand to the campaign
Every interaction counts. When you participate, you’ll have the opportunity to take a photo of your hand as part of the campaign and help us track our progress toward reaching 1,000 hands.
Join the Mission
Below is a calendar of upcoming events and opportunities where you can meet our team, explore the outdoors, and add your hand to the mission. Follow along at #1000HandsLewisville as we work together to strengthen Lewisville’s connection to nature, one hand at a time.
