Direct technical guidance to landowners through planned outreach at events, field days, workshops, group engagements, and on-site consultations.
Engaging land managers in the planning of conservation practices with the goal of providing measurable improvements of all natural resources present.
Acres under improved management as a result of planned grazing, prescribed burning, rangeland plantings, etc.
Engaging with like-minded organizations to achieve common goals. Co-hosting education and outreach events with allied organizations to inform the public about land conservation practices and programs.
Coastal Prairies and Marsh habitats managed under improved practices significantly reduce pollution from the local environment which benefits the quality of water for freshwater aquatic species and for municipal drinking sources.
Research has shown that there are three times as many species of birds on a large restored native grassland and wetland restoration site in northeast Texas compared to a similar unrestored parcel.
Grasslands are a key component in reducing major flood events. The runoff from 20 acres of native grasslands is equivalent to runoff of one acre of paved land. 60,000 acres under improved management strategies can store up to 18 billion gallons of water over a three-year period.
Soil carbon sequestration is the term used to describe the process of atmospheric CO2 being absorbed by grasses and stored in their roots and the soil.
The WHF team has been so valuable as the Katy Prairie Conservancy works to enhance and restore a threatened ecosystem.
A big part of the prairie resurgence is due to WHF’s tireless, innovative, and scalable work to restore the prairies on both rural private lands and in the heart of the city.
We’re very grateful you took the time to create such a beautiful report with impressive photos and lists of native plants, forbs, and trees. This is truly the best consultation we’ve had at the property and are very thankful for this assessment.
