In this May 22, 2017, photo, a tiny herbaceous plant reaches for the sky inside a 3.5-foot plastic protective tube at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge near Harlingen, Texas. Thirty-four acres of native plants and trees were planted in a test plot to see if the protection of the sleeves might accelerate efforts to restore native Tamaulipan thornscrub habitat to benefit wildlife, including endangered ocelots.
