LEARN ABOUT THE COASTAL PRAIRIE | BASICS

The Coastal Prairie of Texas and Louisiana is critically imperiled. Although this once vast ecosystem covered most of Houston and the Gulf coast between Corpus Christi, TX and Lafayette, LA, less than 1/10 of 1% of this ecosystem remains in a relatively pristine condition today. If we are to save what remains we need your help!

Learn the basics of the Coastal Prairie story by reading this award-winning pamphlet produced by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and US Geological Survey.
