What We Do
We work with private landowners and municipalities to responsibly rescue plants that are in development's way. We send plants & seeds to conservation agencies, local native plant growers, community pollinator gardens and other habitat building projects.
Our Impact
We have rescued over 300 native species, including multiple Species of Greatest Conservation Need. These plants are conserved with botanical gardens, seed banks and non-profits. By working with local native growers to propagate the rescued plants, native species that have never been available in Central Texas are now in native plant nurseries and in native plants sales. These plants help pollinators, save water and increase species biodiversity.
The Details
We are an insured all-volunteer force, and there is no cost for our service. We only rescue plants from within the limits of construction, and we keep plant rescue details confidential. Rescuing plants will not interfere with the development of your property.
