NICE Program
In 2005 our chapter adopted the NICE Program - Natives Instead of Common Exotics. This program was started by the Boerne Chapter to promote the use of natives in landscaping and has been so successful that it's been adopted by other NPSOT chapters. Read more about this program under "Resources."
Field Trips
The chapter makes regular field trips to interesting plant-related locations throughout the year. Keep an eye on "News" here for announcements and updates about upcoming outings.
