Since our fall planting in September and October, we’ve been closely monitoring growth and assessing the soil quality.
Our current focus is seeing how these species handle the freeze cycles within the raised beds.

BPTMN Grant Program Update September 2025
The Blackland Prairie Texas Master Naturalists (BPTMN) are dedicated to various conservation efforts. Their “Eco Explorers” program educates Girl Scouts, while their “Texas Bat Acoustics” project monitors bat populations. They assist the Blackland Prairie Raptor Center with equipment and invasive species removal. Habitat restoration projects at Collin College and Prosper United Methodist Church show successful native plant growth. The Green Gardens of McKinney project is creating a learning garden, and community outreach efforts are bolstered by grant funds.
