Got Prairie?
The 2010 State of the Prairie Conference will be held November 4th and 5th in Houston, Texas. Registration and information are available online at http://www.coastalprairiepartnership.org/page/2010-state-of-the-prairie-1
This is shaping up to be a great event with both national and local prairie experts and two opportunities for field trips to restoration sites and high-quality prairie remnants around Houston. There is something for everyone with presentations focused on restoration techniques, educational resources, and protection through the use of conservation easements. We’ll cap the week with Prairie Heritage Day at Brazos Bend State Park just south of Houston. So, whether you live in coastal Texas or call the Cajun Prairie home, this event is for you!
