Houston Audubon is proud to have been a part of a collaborative effort led by Galveston Bay Foundation to preserve some of the last remnants of coastal prairie in the region.  The 79-acre acquisition was completed last month and will become part of the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge. The Flo Hannah prairie will be an important seed source for Houston Audubon’s real-deal native plant nursery, started by Flo. We are so excited to see it deservedly named in her honor.
Despite our sanctuaries being closed from March to May due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we stayed busy behind the scenes.  See what we've been up to.
