 Before Columbus arrived in the Americas, much of Texas bordering the Gulf of Mexico was pure, undisturbed coastal prairie. Over time almost all of it was plowed for agricultural purposes. In relatively recent times, Chambers County was well known for growing rice, contributing to the local economy.
The Refuge is in the process of restoring some of its land to native prairie. Native prairie is important because prairie plants and animals evolved together over millennia, so they need each other to prosper. Once a native prairie is tilled, it will never return on it own. It must be reseeded with the native plant species. Most of the original prairie was composed of native grasses that can live from 50 to 100 years. |

FENCE PROJECT A BIG SUCCESS!
We asked for your help and we got it! Here is a great big THANK YOU to those who worked so hard on Saturday, May 22, to complete the fence at the refuge RV Park! Workers were Jerry Millsaps (project leader), Buddy Mitchell, Matt Jackson, John Rinard, Janet Rathjen, Larry Martin, Samantha Rospo, Joe Haynes, Kay Lovelace, and Travis Lovelace. This fence will provide more security for those staying on the RV spaces and greatly improves the appearance. What would we do without our outstanding Volunteers! YEAH!!!!!! This is one of the many work days we will have from the list of our “Volunteer for a Day” projects. This list of important and necessary projects was compiled by refuge staff as work that Friends of the Refuge and Volunteers could do to help out. At the end of the day, we took a short tour of a part of the refuge not open to the public—the bird rookery on the Skillern Tract which needs to be restored from Hurricane Ike damage. We left tired but feeling great about volunteering our time and effort in support of our refuge where the natural habitat diversity is preserved so that wildlife can thrive and we can enjoy the wide open spaces.
