Project Bedrock

For more than 100 years, we’ve fought the woody brush spreading across the limestone regions of Texas, called karst country. Much of this woody cover consists of native juniper trees, commonly called mountain cedars. Instead of causing harm, we now know mountain cedars act as ecosystem engineers to improve and sustain Texas karst country function.

Come learn about these benefits and how we can use mountain cedars as another nature-based solution to enhance soil health, groundwater, productivity, property values, and resilience.

Our next summer education series, Mountain Cedars: Junipers that Benefit Texas Karst Country, will be presented by Elizabeth McGreevy, a sixth-generation Texas and Texas A&M graduate, who is a natural resources ecologist and author of Wanted! Mountain Cedars, Dead and Alive.
