This month, join us at Dowell Ranch for a work day focused on planting rescued plants in the ground. The tasks will involve light labor and will significantly contribute to our prairie restoration efforts. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or new to our projects, your participation will make a meaningful impact.
Please wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle, hat, and sunscreen. We’ll provide all the necessary tools and gloves.

Native Prairies Association of Texas (NPAT) is a nonprofit membership organization and an accredited land trust. Our mission is dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and appreciation of native prairies, savannas, and other grasslands in Texas.
We protect prairies through acquisition, partnerships, and conservation easements. NPAT-owned properties include the Burleson Prairie near Temple, Elder Prairie Preserve near Brenham, Maddin Prairie Preserve near Colorado City, Lawther-Deer Park Prairie in Deer Park, Talbot Brothers Preserve and Mary Talbot Prairie near New Boston, Riesel Prairie near Marlin, Paul Mathews Prairie near Greenville and the Dowell Ranch near Austin. These and our easement holdings protect over 5,700 acres statewide.
We restore native prairie on our own lands, work with our landowners to restore their lands, and promote restoration on other private and public lands to benefit the native plant communities, pollinators, grassland birds and other prairie wildlife of Texas. We share informational resources and advice on restoration. Maddin Prairie Preserve, conservation easements at Daphne Prairie near Mount Vernon and the Kirchoff Family Farm near Floresville host regular restoration and workshop activities.
We teach about the prairie and its value through our chapter efforts, workshops, presentations, field trips and many types of volunteer opportunities. NPAT has five active chapters, serving members in Greater Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, and the Fayette Prairie region.
