REQUIRES REGISTRATION (field trip is full) Arriving to Houston early? Join us for a unique, pre-conference field trip to the Texas Institute for Coastal Prairie Research and Education (TICPRE) managed by the University of Houston. TICPRE, located on 900+ acres of threatened, coastal tallgrass prairie in various stages of restoration, supports a number of research and educational programs. Guided tours into the prairie will be provided, including a stop in an area containing an oyster shell dump that will be the focus of a NAPC conference workshop on restoration options. As an added bonus, sno-cones and popsicles will be provided during the tour! The tour is limited to 40 participants. A shuttle to TICPRE will be provided; however, you need to indicate if you would like to take advantage of this transportation. The shuttle will leave UHCL at 1:45PM and return before the Sunday evening mixer begins at 5PM. Attendees on this tour may pick up their conference registration packets before or after the tour.
