Volunteer with us Sunday, April 28th, from 8:30-noon in north Round Rock as we rescue plants such as Delphinium carolinianum,Penstemon cobaea and Callirhoe involucrata var. lineariloba from a site prior to construction. There is a parking lot available next to the site. Further details and sign up info can be found on our SignUpGenius page.
Directions: Take I-35 north to Exit 277 for CR 305. Go left under the interstate on CR 305 and in 2.3 miles turn right onto CR 344. The preserve entrance is about a mile down CR 344 on the left. You will be guided to a parking area. High clearance vehicles are not required.
Our field trip is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required.
IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) You must fill out a waiver for the Preserve (in addition to the NPSOT waiver that is signed at all field trips). Download the Preserve’s waiver at this link if you’d like to print and sign it ahead in order to save time at the start of the field trip. 2) Bathrooms are not available. 3) Be on time, as we will close the gates at 9:45am!
Join us to tour this 100+ acre preserve in Jarrell that includes portions of Pecan Creek. There are no trails, and participants should dress for the weather, bring plenty of water, and use bug spray. We will hike around the preserve to places of interest as we look for unusual plants as well as the usual suspects. The terrain is mostly flat but there are rocks and the terrain may be uneven.
The video recording from our chapter meeting on April 11, 2024 featuring “Drought-Tolerant Native Plants: Nothing Works Like Natives” with Randy Pensabene is now available on our YouTube channel. Randy’s presentation starts after a short chapter business meeting and NPSOT state update.
Note on 4/18: Though the meeting title page below says “March”, it’s really our April 11, 2024 meeting. We’ll correct that video frame soon but, meanwhile, we wanted you to have access to the recording right away.
