Native Plant Rescue - South Austin

It was a wonderful opportunity to see a maser naturalist's life's work in person, and there were many amazing plants able to rescue. The site leaders for the day had a good idea of which rare and desirable plants they wanted to be sure had cuttings taken of them and needed to be removed for the final day's efforts, which was great! However, the rescue might have been more efficient and organized for the final day if there had been more plants pre-marked with identification tags as well as a list of remaining mid-tier desirable plants that would be good for different end-destination donation pools. (I do realize it was unique circumstances because there were a lot of technically native-to-other-parts-of-Texas plants that would be good as specimens for conservatories or home gardens but not great for rehoming on local preserves, but I think similar principles apply for other sites to help group plants that are more likely to succeed in the Blackland Prairie vs. the Plateau sides of town.)

Thanks for this opportunity. I wish I could have made all 3 days.

Had another great few hours rescuing plants. If there are any more opportunities to return to the site before it's destroyed, please let me know. There are more plants to be rescued obviously, and maybe some new ones to be discovered, since the property owner had collected some uncommon ones over the years.
