State Farm Youth Advisory Board Awards GBCC Grant

 Greens Bayou Corridor Coalition (GBCC), Houston Parks Board, Bayou Preservation Association, and Wendel D Ley Family YMCA are working together to develop the first canoe launch park on Greens Bayou. 

The site is a genuine diamond in the rough, with two unusual finds.  First, the furthest east stand of Anacuas are present. More importantly, it is home to a ten foot palm.  Specialist at the University of Texas are working to determine if it is a new species, or simply the largest Louisiana Sabal in the State of Texas.

State Farm Youth Advisory Board awarded GBCC a $38,019 grant to work with Galena Park ISD high school students.  Students will be introduced to native vs. invasive species concepts, identify and remove invasive species, and replant native plants.
