The bracted twistflower (Streptanthus bracteatus) is a beautiful and rare mustard that exists only on the Edwards Plateau of central Texas. For three years, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, City of Austin, Travis County, Lower Colorado River Authority, and Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center have worked to conserve this globally rare plant growing in the Austin area. One of the products generated by this strong partnership has been the construction of a voluntary Memorandum of Agreement for which a signing ceremony will be held March 10, at 3:30 pm at the Capitol in Austin.
The ceremony will recognize private landowners, non-profit organizations, state and federal agencies, and wildflower enthusiasts for their dedication to preserving Texas
