Why is TPWF’s new Wild Thumb app important?

Many native pollinators are in decline as prairie habitat is lost to development and monoculture. Pollinators are responsible for roughly one out of every three bites of food we eat. They support crops like peaches, melons, and peppers—and they also keep our native landscapes thriving.

The good news? It’s not too late. Even small actions make a difference. A few native plants can create meaningful habitat, which means everyone can play a role in helping native pollinators thrive.

Meet Houston Chapter Leader Jazz Hawk:

For Jazz Hawk, a life outdoors didn’t begin with Stewards of the Wild. It started long before, rooted in family traditions and time spent outside.

“I grew up in the outdoors,” she says. “I competed as an equestrian doing hunters and jumpers from a young age all through college, and I was on a sport field any chance I could get. After college, some friends and I started doing annual trips to national parks.”

For Jazz, time outside wasn’t something planned, it was simply how life was lived. That foundation still guides her today, whether she’s walking a field on an upland bird hunt—her favorite pursuit—or casting a line along the Texas Coast during the annual Matagorda fishing tournament with friends.

A graduate of Texas A&M University, Jazz found her way to Stewards of the Wild through a friend, Allie (Biedenharn) Alcorn. What started as an introduction quickly became a deeper connection, one that has since grown into a leadership role on the Houston Chapter’s advisory committee.

Along the way, she’s gained a broader perspective on conservation and the role Texas Parks and Wildlife plays across the state.
