SUMMARY:Native Solutions: Real-World Restoration Stories and the Impact of Local Plants
DESCRIPTION:Native plant communities throughout the Lower Galveston Bay Watershed have been on the decline as open green space is rapidly being lost to urban sprawl\, industrial land use\, and poor land management practices. The loss of biodiversity threatens the overall health of our bay system and its ability to provide habitat for wildlife. Local resources for native plant material adapted to our harsh coastal environment are difficult to find\, forcing consumers to purchase material from non-local sources that lack the genetic adaptations to thrive in our coastal ecosystems. \n\n\n\nTo address these challenges\, the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) operates a Native Plant Program that supplies native plant resources for landscape-scale restoration projects. These resources are available to conservation and restoration practitioners\, as well as residential homeowners seeking to utilize native plants in their home landscaping. Through this program\, GBF has implemented a variety of restoration projects across its conservation properties. \n\n\n\nIn this presentation\, GBF will share both successful and unsuccessful stories from these restoration efforts\, illustrating how the Native Plant Program has contributed to the recovery of local plant communities and highlighting lessons learned along the way. These real-world examples will demonstrate the importance of using locally adapted native plants and the impact of restoration work on the health and resilience of the Lower Galveston Bay Watershed.  \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRicci Simmons is the Conservation Stewardship Manager at the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF). She has a B.S. in Wildlife Fisheries Sciences and in Rangeland Ecology Management from Texas A&M University\, in addition to an M.S. in Hydrology from Boise State University. Her responsibility at GBF is to promote high species diversity\, improve hydrologic function\, and increase wildlife habitat through vegetation management on protected lands that are sensitive to the health of Galveston Bay.She also oversees monitoring of GBF’s properties using the Land Trust Alliance Standards and Practices\, and manages an upland native plant and emergent freshwater wetland nurseries. Ricci spends most of her free time enjoying the outdoors with her family and especially loves collecting and pressing botanical specimens. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOur monthly chapter meetings are held on every 3rd Thursday\, January – November. Our meetings are free and open to the public thanks to our members and sponsors.  \n\n\n\nThe presentation will start at 7:00 pm\, but come at 6:45 pm for a meet and greet with snacks. \n\n\n\nHouston Arboretum and Nature Center \n\n\n\n610 Entrance (preferred)120 W Loop N FwyHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\nWoodway Entrance4501 Woodway DriveHouston\, TX 77024 \n\n\n\n(Parking is free at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center on Thursdays.) \n\n\n\nMeetings will also be live-streamed and recorded for later viewing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReturn to Houston Chapter Page

DESCRIPTION:🌿 Calling All Native Plant Enthusiasts! 🌿  Be a Pollinator Protector! 🐝🌸 \n\n\n\nJoin us for a morning of volunteer magic at Lake Mineral Wells State Park. 🌼✨ \n\n\n\nYou can help maintain the pollinator garden at Lake Mineral Wells State Park! 🌼🦋 This wonderful community effort supports our local ecosystems and provides habitat to facilitate the important work of pollinators.  This garden provides educational information to visitors and is utilized by the park staff to explain the importance of native plants and their benefits. \n\n\n\nHere are some suggestions on clothing and what to bring: \n\n\n\n\nWork Clothing: Wear comfortable work clothing appropriate for the weather.

They’ll protect your hands while working with plants and soil.\n\n\n\nGardening Tools: If you own any gardening tools\, such as nippers\, shovels\, spades\, pitchforks\, or wheelbarrows\, feel free to bring them.  Buckets and brooms are also useful. These tools can be incredibly helpful for various tasks.\n\n\n\nWater: Stay hydrated! Bring a water bottle to keep yourself refreshed during the work.\n\n\n\nHat:  A hat with a wide brim provides shade for your face\, neck\, and ears\, protecting you from direct sunlight. It helps prevent sunburn and reduces the risk of skin damage caused by UV radiation.  In case of cooler weather\, wear a hat to keep warm.\n\n\n\n\nAdditional Details: \n\n\n\n\nIf the temperature is below 40°F or if it’s raining\, the workday will be canceled. \n\n\n\nFor any specific questions or further information\, you can reach out to Cindy Crump at cindyleecrump@gmail.com or Vicki Brooks at vicki.brooks@icloud.com\n\n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\n\nLake Mineral Wells State Park\, 100 Park Road 71\, Mineral Wells\, Texas.\n\n\n\nBefore entering the park gates\, take a left into the administration building parking lot.\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Point: \n\n\n\n\nMeet at the garden located near the administration building entrance (before paying at the gate).\n\n\n\n\nLet’s come together and contribute to the beauty and health of our local environment! 🌿🌸 \n\n\n\nVolunteer hours count towards Texas Master Naturalist and Texas Master Gardeners.

SUMMARY:San Antonio Chapter Meeting March 2026
DESCRIPTION:When: March 24\, 2026Time: 5:30-7:30pmWhere: Koehler Pavilion at Brackenridge Park \n\n\n\nInstead of our usual meeting and program at Hardberger Park\, please join us at the Koehler Pavilion on the San Antonio River at Brackenridge Park for a social gathering and opportunity to adopt or exchange native Texas plants. \n\n\n\nAll members and friends are welcome! \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: If you’ve got Texas native plants in your yard needing thinning or removal\, please pot them up soon\, label them with both common and latin name (if possible!) and then bring them with you to exchange for something new\, or simply bring your excess to share with others. Also\, don’t forget to package and bring any native seeds that you have collected. \n\n\n\nThis is going to be an ideal time for you to acquire some new native plants for your yard and to show your support for the San Antonio Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas. It will also be a great time to visit with your native plant friends and to make some new plant loving friends. \n\n\n\nFinding Koehler Pavillion: Koehler Pavilion is just up the river from the San Antonio Zoo Train Depot. It is just off the circle where Tuleta and N. St. Mary’s Street intersect near Kiddie Park. Parking can be found in front of pavilion across from the SA Zoo Education Center or at the Brackenridge Eagle Train Station. \n\n\n\nClick for a Map.

SUMMARY:Trees of Phil Hardberger Park
DESCRIPTION:Location: Phil Hardberger Park\, 8400 NW Military Hwy\, San Antonio\, TX 78231 \n\n\n\nSPECIAL NOTE: Our presenter has so much to share we are “allowing” 2.5 hours for the full walk\, but participants are free to leave earlier. \n\n\n\nThe event’s purpose is to learn about the many special understory and canopy trees in our area. This walk will be led by Michael Nentwich\, president and founder of Bexar Branches Alliance. Michael has nearly 20 years of experience in community forestry management and program development. He was San Antonio’s first City Forester and later served as City Forester and Bureau Manager of Parks and Urban Forestry with the City of Norfolk. \n\n\n\nHe earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science and a Master’s Degree in Forestry from Stephen F. Austin University. He has extensive knowledge and a deep and abiding interest in trees as well as being a great communicator. You will be introduced to the common tree species found in the park\, and probably will get to see and learn about Eve’s Necklace\, Texas Kidneywood\, and Little-leaf Mulbery among many other fascinating species. \n\n\n\nPlease arrive about 7:45 am SHARP so we can register everyone and be ready for an 8:00 am start. You will walk an about 1.5 mile route starting and ending at the Urban Ecology Center. There will be brief explanations at the start and along the way with ample time for participant questions. \n\n\n\nMinors only when accompanied by an adult parent/guardian. Dogs allowed if leashed and socialized. DIFFICULTY: Easy\, definitely suitable for families. Flat terrain\, slow-paced. \n\n\n\nThe trail is a natural surface so be sure to wear sturdy shoes and\, dependent on the weather\, bring water\, sun protection\, and dress appropriately for the day and season. Suggested $3 individual or $5 family donations to the PHP Conservancy to support enhancements to the park. \n\n\n\nThis event’s general sponsors are the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy\, the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department’s Natural Areas Office\, the Alamo Area Master Naturalists\, and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club. The SA Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas is a special sponsor. \n\n\n\nContact Stan Drezek (stanwendre@gmail.com) for additional information.or questions. \n\n\n\nLEARN MORE AND RSVP
