The Native Plant Society of Texas aims to research, conserve, and promote Texas native plants. This non-profit organization is supported through grants, donations, and member dues, reflecting its commitment to the preservation and restoration of native plant habitats within Texas.
The "Bring Back the Monarchs to Texas" (BBMT) program, through its annual grant program, aims to support the development of Monarch habitats across Texas by providing funding to schools, nature centers, and other organizations. The program focuses on creating Monarch demonstration gardens or Waystations using native Texas plants to educate the community on Monarch conservation and native plant restoration. Funded by the Native Plant Society of Texas, Monarch Watch, donations, and in partnership with Monarch Joint Venture and the US Forest Service, the grants ensure expenditures are made solely on native milkweeds and nectar plants. They are open to both new gardens and the improvement of existing Monarch habitats, with the general intent to enhance Monarch reproduction and bolster their migration pathway through Texas.
