Nearly 200 landowners in the Upper Guadalupe River Basin received more than 7,000 native plants earlier this month as part of an effort to restore riverbanks damaged by the July 2025 floods.

The Hill Country Alliance, working with several partners, hosted a native plant giveaway June 12-13 at Mosty Brothers Nursery in Center Point.

The event provided containerized grasses and sedges intended to stabilize stream banks and support recovery along the Guadalupe River and its tributaries.
