Our Education Program centers around Lawther-Deer Park Prairie, a 51-acre, never-plowed, native prairie remnant that is an excep­tional example of one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. Less than 1%of the original 9 million acres of coastal prairie remains. Very few of these prairies can be found within an urban area. Read more about Deer Park Prairie.

NPAT seeks to provide opportunities to communities like Deer Park and the Houston area to appreciate native coastal prairies and wetlands. The Lawther-Deer Park Prairie Education Program operates in an urban setting and teaches science and math through hands-on interactive learning. Education and awareness are key to the conservation of our Texas native prairies. Find out more about this program.
