The Native Plant Society of Texas Fall Symposium is for anyone interested in learning how to preserve Texas' rich native plant communities. The conference will draw a diverse audience of academics, conservationists, educators, landscaping pros and native plant enthusiasts from across Texas. Folks who can't attend in person can join virtually.
Saturday's schedule is packed with insightful presentations from recognized experts in local ecoregion vegetation and native plant habitats. Among the topics: Growing in a Drier World, Landscaping to Maximize Available Rainfall, Growing for Birds, Restoring Grasslands, and Bringing Native Plants to Texas schools. Sunday offers nine amazing guided field trips to natural areas around Salado, including the Gault Archaeological Site, the Blackland Prairie Replication Site at Granger Lake, and Salado Creek.
Salado Middle School will serve as the symposium headquarters. Saturday-only and three-day registrations include the annual awards banquet — a night of celebrating leaders in the native plant movement.
