Dear X: The Coastal Prairie Partnership and Native Prairies Association of Texas are excited to announce the 3rd annual State of the Prairie Conference, and we want you to be a part of our conference team! Each fall, the State of the Prairie Conference brings together the best minds in prairie conservation from throughout the Gulf Coast and Midwest to spark lively conversations and provide practical methods to restore, conserve, and educate about our valuable, vulnerable prairies. We seek to engage and inspire a diverse audience of private landowners, natural resource professionals, governmental agencies, educators, landscape architects, naturalists, volunteers, and others looking for real-world solutions. There has been a recent surge of interest in building prairies to boost biodiversity, augment cattle production and ecotourism, connect us with our heritage, and provide pockets of nature in an increasingly urbanized world. This years presentations, eld trips, and rst-ever prairie-centered teacher workshop will speak to these needs. We invite you to be an integral part of the 3rd annual State of the Prairie Conference as a supporter. We are pleased to offer our valued institutional sponsors generous benets including increased online and in print media recognition. We are also proud to debut our new individual sponsorship level (Katydid) for those seeking a personal way to support our mission. Together we can protect and rebuild prairies for wildlife, for ourselves, and for our children. Please help us move toward this goal by supporting this years State of the Prairie Conference. Sincerely, Jaime Gonzlez President Coastal Prairie Partnership 281.660.6683
