Their continued support allows us to expand our capabilities to the people of Texas.

The Blackland Prairie Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists is a large chapter in Collin County. Their mission is to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas within their communities for the State of Texas. The local chapter has been extremely important to BPRC through many grants, volunteers and management of the Blackland Prairie found at our facility.
