What is Rehorning Texas?

Rehorning Texas was born out of a desire to empower everyday people who love horned lizards and want to restore & manage the land for their return and continued existence.

In the news, you often read what the zoos and state wildlife agencies are doing with zoo-born or translocated horned lizards, but it's the average person who can do the most for a wild species like horned lizards because more than 93% of Texas is privately owned and without good habitat on the land, new horned lizards won't have anywhere to go and won't survive. Whether they emigrate into your yard or ranch from a neighboring population or are released there by zoo staff, preparing the land to support & sustain them long-term is what will truly allow us to "bring back the Horny Toad". After all, horned lizards behave just fine, know how to take care of themselves, and know how to breed and spread out across the landscape—we just need to remove the exotic vegetation and other barriers that we have put in place that pushed them out of their former range over the last hundred or more years. We also need to put the right types of native vegetation and natural processes back on the land that will help horned lizards once again feel at "home on the range".

This is where Rehorning Texas comes in. Whether you are looking for the right native plants, need a habitat evaluation, habitat management plan, a consultation, a custom native plant seed mix, or a landscape design, Rehorning Texas is here to help.
