Prairie Pandemonium

Tall grass prairie once covered at least nine million acres along the coastal plain of south-central Texas and southwestern Louisiana. Today, more than 99% has been lost to agriculture and urbanization.

At nine hundred acres, Armand Bayou Nature Center preserves one of the most extensive holdings of coastal tallgrass prairie in the lower Galveston Bay watershed.

As a part of ongoing restoration work, volunteers have grown approximately 4,000 pots of locally rare native grass at the nature center for transplantation into the prairie preserve.

• Sign-in will begin at 7:30AM.

• Planting will be from 8AM to noon.

• Lunch is included, and door prizes too.

• Volunteers should be 12 years of age or older, and if under 18 to be accompanied by an adult.
