NPSOT-Williamson County Chapter
Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT-Wilco)
NPSOT’s Native Plant Rescue Project is compiling a history of Williamson County’s MoKan Prairie, an area with a prairie remnant in eastern Round Rock facing increasing amounts of development. We are specifically looking for first-hand accounts, memories, photos and oral stories of the MoKan Prairie area. We would love to hear from you!
Contact plantrescue-wilco@npsot.org.
We plan to present the history of the MoKan Prairie at a future NPSOT meeting.
Volunteer with us Saturday, January 20th from 10am-1pm in Liberty Hill as we rescue plants from a 2 acre property prior to construction. There is easy parking next to the site, but be mindful that there is tall grass to walk through and no trails. You may dig plants for conservation and/or to take for your own projects. The plant list and further details can be found at the SignUp link below.
You must be a current NPSOT member (any chapter) and at least 18 to attend. (Join NPSOT or renew here.)
