The Daytripper has partnered with The Nature Conservancy in Texas on a journey across the Lone Star State. From coastal shores to the rugged West, meet the people helping to protect over 1 million acres of diverse Texas lands—rich with native plants, unexpected springs, and extraordinary animals. Discover how conservation preserves these stunning, rapidly changing landscapes for generations ahead.

Part Two of Three: Grasslands
In Texas, no field is ever “just grass” or empty. What appears as a simple pasture is a rich, biodiverse grassland ecosystem—precious and essential to our state. Open your eyes to its true value, and you’ll never look at grass the same way.
