Buffalo Bayou Partnership and Katy Prairie Conservancy (KPC) are collaborating to increase Houston’s prairies. Twice monthly, KPC and its volunteers comb through some of the most pristine prairies left in the area including College Park Prairie, Nash Prairie and, of course, Katy Prairie for the best wildflower and native grass seeds that will be planted in a dozen acres of “pocket prairies” in Buffalo Bayou Park.
Once completed, these prairies will be a magnet for wildlife, a boon for photographers, and a reminder of Houston’s rich ecological and cultural history. Collectively, they will be one of the largest and most publicly accessible urban grasslands in the country.
