I'm Cory Ames — telling the stories that make Texas wilder & wiser.
Through hands-on native-plant guides, short films, and essays, I chronicle the plants, people, and places redefining sustainability across the Lone Star State. Practical help and hopeful stories that help you see where you live and care for it more deeply.
New videos most weeks: what to plant and how to keep it alive, what's edible and useful out in the field, where the water went, and the people bringing this landscape back.
I'm the Resident Wildlife & Nature Cinematographer at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, and I make films for Texas Parks & Wildlife Magazine.
