Great news for Houston Audubon and friends on the Bolivar Peninsula. Through
the monies available from the BP Macondo oil spill Houston Audubon is on a
short list of entities to receive significant funding to enhance habitat and
wildlife viewer access at almost all of the conservation properties in East
Galveston County. Bad news is they need to reduce the list of recipients by
about 5 to 10%.
Board walks across marshes, towers, platforms and bridges as well as parking
areas and trails for Houston Audubon sites would be supported if the grant
award is approved. The Texas birding community is in a great position to be
the beneficiary of these funds although it is not yet guaranteed.
If you want to see more about the possible future enhancements and improved
access that might happen go to:
http://houstonaudubon.org/conservation/bolivar-trail.html
Public comments are being solicited and significant support form the birding
and environmental community can and will make a difference in whether Houston
Audubon gets approval.
Please everyone (everyone) go to this site and follow directions there to
post a comment in support of this investment. We can make a difference
collectively for some of our favorite sites (and even a couple we haven't
been able to get to yet) if we can convince authorities that this is a great
way to spend these dollars.
Thanks to Texbirds for enabling this communication.
