Partner with
The Yaupon Project
Yaupon works with schools, neighborhoods, and community organizations on native planting projects.
We choose partners thoughtfully—looking for sites that are well-supported and ready for long-term care.
Who We Partner With
Yaupon collaborates with:
Schools and educators interested in hands-on environmental learning
Neighborhood groups and community organizations stewarding shared spaces
Local partners who care about climate resilience, biodiversity, and youth engagement
While every site adapts to local needs, the approach stays consistent: community-led planting, long-term care, and observation-based learning.
How We Fund the Work Together
Yaupon uses a shared support model that makes projects accessible while ensuring quality and long-term care.

What Makes a Good Partnership
Yaupon is a small, growing organization. We work best with partners who:
Want to stay involved after planting day
See restoration as both ecological and educational
Value observation and long-term learning over one-time events
Can commit to caring for the site as it grows
If this sounds like your school or organization, we'd love to talk.
