This is a month of celebration!
We’re celebrating the impact you have on Bayou Land Conservancy’s mission to permanently—forever—preserve green spaces in our community.
Later this month you’ll see emails from a handful of folks that elevate our work by promoting flood control that works with nature, not against it. And someone who promotes the re-wilding of our backyards that benefits nature, and us. Even someone who helps people understand all the ways we are connected to water. It’s exciting to see all the different directions people come from that intersect with land conservation. I hope one of those stories will remind you of the creative ways you have contributed to our success.
See you outside!
