UNT Pecan Creek Pollinative Prairie
|
Want to 'bee' a conservationist? Join the UNT community-based four acre native Texas prairie reconstruction, located in the east field of the Discovery Park campus!! The UNT Ecology Society for Ecological Restoration students and staff lead UNT volunteers to remove non-native, invasive plant species and replace them with native Texas grass and flowering plants to help increase pollinating insects, birds, and ecological services that prairies provide. Prairies are the most endangered habitat in Texas. Our UNT Pollinative Prairie helps to connect other prairie habitat islands in DFW and increase lost biodiversity. We have documented over 200 native species of plants and wildlife that now call our Prairie home. Over 1000 UNT students and staff have volunteered since 2016. Volunteer hours can be counted towards the Sustainability Graduation Cord. We hope that you will learn how to conserve native Texas flowering plants that provide bees and Monarch butterflies with habitat, and maybe even create a habitat at your own residential yard space.
