Stewarding the Wilds with Faith

Calling people of all faiths – or no faith at all: Spend two hours living out your values by helping restore vital ecosystems on the Coastal Heritage Preserve as you plant native coastal prairie species. The two hours of hands-on volunteering will have an impact for centuries to come as these plants mitigate erosion, fix nitrogen, filter heavy metals, and provide habitat to the wildlife that call the 1,039 acres “home.” This activity involves standing, walking, and digging holes in the forgiving sandy alkaline soil of Galveston Island. Children are welcome to participate with parents/guardians. Please wear long pants, closed toe shoes, gloves, and sun protection. Bring a refillable water bottle and bug spray. Tools/supplies will be provided. This event is organized by the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, in partnership with Artist Boat. Artist Boat requires signing of a waiver to participate. We look forward to seeing y’all out on the prairie. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at [email protected] for more information.
