TPCC Background

Since 2000, TPCC has served as a statewide professional forum for scientists, land managers, government agencies, environmental consultants, and conservation professionals dedicated to preserving Texas's native plant diversity. This biennial conference fosters collaboration by facilitating discussions about current research and conservation projects on rare plants, native plant communities, plant monitoring methods, and plant management practices. Our 2025 theme, "From Rare Plants to Landscapes", seeks to showcase the vital conservation efforts happening across the state and throughout various disciplines. Our goal is to highlight how interconnected our work is and the importance of collaboration.
