Introduction
The Native Prairies Association of Texas (NPAT) is a non-profit membership organization and land trust dedicated to the conservation, restoration, and appreciation of native prairies, savannas, and other grasslands in Texas and throughout the United States.
NPAT protects over 1200 acres of native Texas prairie, including over 100 acres of endangered/threatened tallgrass prairie.
NPAT is a 501(c)(3) organization, and your membership and contributions are fully tax-deductible to the amount allowed by law.
Our History
NPAT was founded in 1986 by a group of Texans concerned greatly about our disappearing prairie heritage, especially Texas’ endangered tallgrass prairies.
