TX Triple-P: Plant Phenology Project
Our Texas Triple-P (Plant Phenology Project) aims to develop new technology and resources over the next several years to educate all Texans about rangeland plants and management. The new technology and educational resources are unique because they all provide the key identifying characteristics of plants and the most common look-a-like plants in Texas, which is needed to accurately identify the plant. Accurate plant identification is necessary for sustainable rangeland management because different plants provide different resources and value to the rangeland and may require different management treatments. The TX Triple-P products and deliverables will provide the needed educational resources so that all Texans, from the young to the more seasoned Texan, will have the knowledge and skills to keep Texas Rangelands sustainable.
To learn more about how you can become a sponsor of this pioneering educational initiative, please visit TX Triple-P.

Plan-It Marsh & Plan-It Dunes
The Plan-It Marsh and Plan-It Dunes Projects are habitat restoration initiatives being introduced to the Texas Coast. These initiatives are aimed at strengthening STEM career skills amongst high school youth and at converting degraded coastal habitat along the Gulf Coast into native coastal marsh and dune habitats. With support from our Project Team, Project Partners, volunteers, and our future generation STEM workers, we have an opportunity to restore coastal habitats and create long-lasting coastal habitat demonstration sites that will be shared with our coastal community through education and research opportunities. With funding from the Gulf of Mexico Alliance and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Plan-It Projects are designed to educate and engage Texans through outreach events and volunteer opportunities, including hands-on plant propagation and habitat restoration activities.
