Vice President

Austin

Kirsti Harms - I have been a member of the NPAT board for over two years and am actively involved with Maddin Prairie Preserve. I am also editor and designer of the NPAT newsletter and other promotions. I am a designer in TxDOT’s Travel Information Division, working on several publications including Texas Highways magazine and the Texas State Travel Guide. I grew up in Austin and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to my interest in prairies I have been an active member of the Native Plant Society and the Capital Area Master Naturalists for many years. I am also a birder and with a strong interest in grassland birds and their conservation. I credit my parents, Bob and Sirpa Harms for instilling in me a deep passion for nature and for the study of plants and animals. Our camping trips and hikes around Texas during my childhood laid the groundwork for my ongoing love of nature, conservation and travel.
