Summary
The Galveston Bay Foundation will construct a one mile stretch of hike and bike trail, install an irrigation system, and plant native trees, grasses, and shrubs at Exploration Green in Harris County. The project will enhance public accessibility to a coastal wildlife habitat and allow natural wetland habitats to filter storm water runoff, improving local environmental conditions.
