Texas Waters Webinar – Mountain Cedars: the Limestone Junipers of Texas

Since 1939, we have misunderstood the role of Mountain Cedars as they spread across Texas. These junipers mostly follow limestone lands characterized by caves, sinkholes, and aquifers. Everywhere we look, Mountain Cedars seem to be surrounded by rocky, bare dirt and reduced spring flows. So they’ve been blamed for our problems. But research has shown that as Mountain Cedars spread across degraded limestone lands, they change underground conditions. Their organic matter, roots, and canopy improve limestone health and porosity, allowing more rain to soak into the ground. This changes everything and means we need to stop fighting Mountain Cedars and learn to work with them because they are not the problem—they are part of the solution.
