About Us

Welcome to the Lakes and Pines Chapter of the

Founded in November of 2023 with the great support of our members and volunteers, we will be promoting research, conservation, and utilization of native plants and plant habitats of Texas through education, outreach, and example. Our chapter includes Wood and surrounding counties. We are a new chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas, a 501(c)(3) organization. Lakes and Pines Chapter takes in two Level 3 Ecoregions, East Texas Plains and the Western Gulf Coastal
