Peckerwood has broadened its conservation mission by taking on further projects aimed at preserving imperiled species native to Texas and other southern states. We have been creating germplasm collections – snapshots of a species’ diverse genetics throughout its range, in order to have a more meaningful representation of the species backed up in cultivation. These far-reaching projects result in collaborations with other conservation-oriented institutions nationwide, and spark further research into the biology and habitats of these plants in need of our attention. Come join us as we explore the accomplishments and future goals we intend to spearhead.
There will be a pre-tour lecture at 3:30 (pre-registration required)
