Who We Are
We are a local chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas, promoting conservation, research and utilization of native plants in the rich biological region west of Fort Worth; especially the Western Cross Timbers and the Grand Prairie ecoregions. We hold a monthly meeting with a speaker, and we also sponsor native plant sales, plant rescues, field trips to areas of interest and classes on a variety of subjects such as native plant identification and propagation. Join us for one of our meetings or activities.
