Dear Potential Sponsors,

We invite you to be a driving force behind a pioneering educational initiative that strives to cultivate the world of youth engagement, plant identification, and rangeland evaluation and management. The TX Triple P: Plant Phenology Project is on a mission to harness the power of youth development, citizen scientists, and cutting-edge technology to create more knowledge and enthusiasm among Texans.

Elevating Youth Participation:

Our mission is clear: to foster a thriving community of young Texans who are passionate about plants and the environment. Through the TX Triple P, we’ve recognized the vital need to nurture youth participation in plant identification and range evaluation contests. By supporting us, you help pave the way for a new generation of informed and passionate Texans.

Unveiling the TX Plant App:

At the heart of the initiative lies the development of the groundbreaking TX Plant app—a comprehensive tool designed to empower Texans with a deeper understanding of Texas rangeland plants. This app aims to transcend ordinary plant identification tools by offering its users a comprehensive view of different phenological stages, indicating how to identify the plant and tell the plant apart from its look-a-likes, providing the value or risk of the plant, and offering links to resources to help manage the plant. With this app, enthusiasts will be able to confidently identify plants while exploring the great outdoors, ensuring accurate and informed insights on Texas rangeland plants.

Our Commitment:

🌿 Youth Empowerment: We will create the curriculum and training needed to equip leaders to become coaches and mentors for plant identification and range evaluation contests, bolstering youth participation and fostering their passion for plants in Texas rangelands.

🌿 Citizen Scientist Network: We are committed to developing a strong network of citizen scientists who contribute to the growth and functionality of the TX Plant app.

🌿 Sustainable Rangeland Habitat Management: We have an unwavering commitment to further plant identification and rangeland habitat management education through the development and delivery of educational resources, workshops, and courses to empower managers, landowners, and industry professionals.
