BRIT’s mission and passion is the conservation of our natural heritage and achieving public understanding of the value that plants bring to our lives. Each year BRIT strives to celebrate the science and beauty of its mission by honoring select individuals for their efforts in conservation, sustainability, and wise stewardship of the land.

The Institute also wants the City of Fort Worth and the Botanic and Horticultural Communities to celebrate the achievements of our science and research. Each year we host a gala as well as special fundraising events to help sustain our mission.
