About
Capital Area and Balcones Canyonlands Master Naturalists and the Native Plant Society of Texas Austin are running a native plant rescue program!
Register for our inaugural plant rescue this weekend at a south Austin residence soon to be cleared (St. Elmo/S. Congress). The exact rescue address and a rough plant list will be emailed upon signing the required forms:
- Liability Waiver
- Participation Agreement
Arrive on time and leave whenever you wish. Bring your own hand tools like hori hori's and sharp shooters for digging out plants - the rescue site has many containers available on-site for potting up plants. Bring envelopes or containers for seed and materials for collecting cuttings of larger specimens if you want to try rooting cuttings. A wagon may be useful for moving plants from the site. Plants may be dug for yourself and to donate to local preserves, pollinator gardens, and conservation partners. If you are willing to transport donated plants to a preserve or garden, please let the Rescue Leader know day-of.
Safety
Site has narrow pathways, many rocks, some ant mound, and many old T-posts and cages that are hazards when moving around. Wear close toed shoes, bring gloves, and navigate safely.
See you this weekend!
