Preserve and Native Nursery Volunteers

Help us care for the Katy Prairie! Every Tuesday and Friday on the Indiangrass Preserve, volunteer stewards participate in activities critical to the success of our restoration and public access programs.

Volunteers maintain the Ann Hamilton Trail, grow out native species in our Coastal Prairie Native Seed Nursery, plant native wildflowers and grasses, remove invasive species, build and repair preserve improvements, and ensure the safety of our preserve for visitors of all ages.

Special 2024-2026 Project: Our Nursery and Stewardship Volunteers are 1) collecting seed, 2) growing out seedlings, and 3) planting 20,000 milkweed plants for Monarchs across the Katy Prairie as part of a special pollinator program! Join us in this exciting endeavor!
