Bigtooth Maples for Boerne had another successful year. This year, Boerne’s Native Plant Society of Texas awarded 116 additional Maples to our city thanks to funding provided by the Cibolo Preserve. There is currently a shortage of Bigtooth Maples but more nurseries are growing our native Maples trees.

Fall is a great time to plant trees and shrubs in Texas! Trees and shrubs are good for the environment and they save money. They increase property value, provide shade, reduce energy bills, and help keep the air clean.

Hey, Boerne Peeps! Help them pick a mascot!

HELP TLC PICK OUR NEW MASCOT!

While we have been celebrating our 35th year of conservation in Texas, we noticed something was missing.... there has been a small, adorable (or maybe not so adorable) void in the organization.... that's right, friends, we need a mascot... a spirit animal... a face to put to our name. We need a symbol that represents the years of dedication and hard work. We need a Texas critter to bring us luck and keep us motivated to fight the good fight. And we need YOU to help us pick it!

We have narrowed our selection of possible animals down to six. We are taking votes until the 13th to narrow it down to two candidates. So please vote before the end of the day on Wednesday. You will then have another chance to vote between the two finalists. Winner will be announced next week. WRITE YOUR VOTE IN THE COMMENTS BELOW!
