Native Prairie Plant-a-thon

Volunteers are needed to plant 2,500 native coastal prairie grasses and forbs. This event will help the park continue the restoration of 400 acres from farmland to native prairie habitat and reestablish the diverse wildlife that it once had. Restoring this prairie will enhance the educational programs at the Learning Center that is visited by thousands of children and adults every year. Volunteers should be at least 14-years-old and capable of digging and planting, but all family groups are welcome. Held at Sheldon Lake State Park & Environmental Learning Center, 15315 Beaumont Highway, Houston, TX 77049.   Please e-mail Laura for registration at laura.babcock@tpwd.state.tx.us by November 5th.
