The South Texas Native Plant Restoration Project was a resounding success in that the primary goal of

developing commercial sources of native seed has been substantially met. By the conclusion of the project

on August 31, 2011, 20 native seed sources had been developed or aided in being commercialized because of

this project. Ecotypic native seeds are today commercially available for use by the Texas Department of

Transportation, and the methods to plant, establish, and manage these native species along roads in Texas

have been tested, reported on, and are available for vegetation managers reference and implementation. We

graciously thank the Texas Department of Transportation and its Commissioners, employees, and contractors

for their tremendous collaborative nature and unyielding support that made such successes possible.
