Texas Wesleyan University is organizing an all-day event at Tandy Hills to celebrate Earth Day 2020 on Saturday, April 18. The event will sponsor an invasive plant species survey to photo-document invasives at 100 precise locations. Invasive species at Tandy Hills threatens the existing population of white rosinweed.

How do I apply for the GRIP? I am in Clay County, Texas and really need some help with my land. I have deer, quail, doves, and other wildlife, but the grass is not very good, and some real cactus problems in areas. Everything is organic.
