Esteban Park, Houston Update
April 2012: Pierre, Alex and Jarid have begun the first planting of locally sourced native coastal prairie seed mix, including seacoast little bluestem, on Esteban Park in southeast Houston, while the 2nd year of brush removal continues.
Houston and the entire Texas Gulf Coast used to be a Garden of Eden of incredibly beautiful, wild coastal prairie.
Today America has only 1% left of her native coastal prairie along the Gulf of Mexico. Join us in the race against extinction as people save their own lives and health at the same time!
