Naturally, We're Texas...

We cannot expect the generations to come to heal the broken bond that exists between us and the natural world unless we provide them the opportunity to experience the beauty, joy, and mystery of nature. When you donate to Texas Nature Project you assure that our state's next generation of leaders will have the skills, experiences, and qualities of personality and character to serve with an ethic of care for our state and her people.

Texas Nature Project is a 501(c)(3), founded and operated by Texans for Texans. 100% of all gifts made to TNP support our program of nature and eco-justice studies for students enrolled in one of our state's universities or colleges.
