At a glance one might think that trees only occur in forests in East Texas. Native Texas trees play a vital role as part of our rural and urban ecology, are a large part of our connection to our natural heritage, and are important as a connection to our shared experiences.

Join us April 24 at the 10th Native Plant Spring Symposium, co-sponsored by the Native Plant Society and the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, where we will review the state of Texas trees. We will explore citizen science tree inventory programs, an overview of predominate tree species across the state, and invasive pests of trees and monitoring programs.
Our Spring Symposium will include a morning plenary session followed by in-depth afternoon breakout sessions with topics such as oak wilt monitoring programs, what the Citizen Forester program is all about and how to get involved, as well as an exciting visit on a Wildflower Center plant collecting trip to west Texas. While at the lunch break, enjoy the gardens and exhibits at the beautiful facility at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Advance registration is $65, including afternoon box lunch. To register online, browse to the Symposium webpage at URL: http://www.wildflower.org/springsymposium/.
