Texas Tribal Buffalo Project Garden at Presidio Activity Center

City of Presidio employees helping plant the fig trees at the Presidio Activity Center.

Big Bend Conservation Alliance, in partnership with the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, is creating a garden behind the Presidio Activity Center comprised of three garden beds and three fig trees with drip irrigation. The installation will have signage describing the project in the Lipan Apache language, Spanish, and English.

This project was made possible through a grant from the Texas Tribal Buffalo Project with help from City of Presidio; consultation from Ramon Rodriquez of Project Homeleaf; and signage language by Dr. Nakaya Flotte. Felipe Castillo built the new garden beds and María Félix Vázquez Santa Cruz will help guide the planting and growing.

Three new garden beds built by Felipe Castillo will grow vegetables year-round.

The Texas Tribal Iyanee'/Buffalo Project is a non-profit committed to healing the generational trauma of Lipan Apache descendants and other native nations bordering traditional Lipan Apache ranges.
