Saving Our Coastal Heritage - Texas Rural County Demonstration Project

Summary

The Trust for Public Land (TPL) will implement the second phase of a three-phase strategy to create a blueprint or "greenprint" for land conservation and preservation in Chambers County, a rural county in the lower watershed of Galveston Bay. While this strategy's primarily purpose is land conservation for public access, it will include the identification of other community driven priorities to create a long-term plan for Chambers County. The results of this demonstration project will provide a model for other rural coastal counties in Texas to plan for the protection of their coastal heritage.
