Prairie Pandemonium

Tall grass prairie once covered at least nine million acres along the coastal plain of south-central Texas and southwestern Louisiana. Today, more than 99% has been lost to agriculture and urbanization.

At nine hundred acres, Armand Bayou Nature Center preserves one of the most extensive holdings of coastal tallgrass prairie in the lower Galveston Bay watershed.

As a part of ongoing restoration work, volunteers have grown approximately 4,000 pots of locally rare native grass at the nature center for transplantation into the prairie preserve.

Thank you to our generous Sponsors for making this event possible!

On Saturday October 21st, 2023 volunteers will attempt to plant those 4,000 plants in approx. 3-4 hours.
