An opportunity to give back, enjoy the outdoors and coastal wildlife. The Nature Conservancy’s Texas City Prairie Preserve is 2,303 acres of coastal prairie at the intersection of urban expanse and rural beauty. It occupies 1/3rd of the Moses Lake shoreline. The coastal grasslands found here are vital to the natural resilience of the Gulf Coast—prairies and marshlands act as a natural buffer during storms and hurricanes, absorbing and dispersing water from storm surges and floods.

There was a considerable about of storm debris that founds it way into the "borrow" canals at the north end of the preserve during Hurricane Harvey. I communicated with the Sr. Stewart Tim O'Connell about paddling from the preserve and lending a helping hand. Collecting storm debris from the canals has been a challenge for volunteers on foot. So with kayaks and canoes we think we can make a difference. I have one canoe and I'm pretty sure I can locate a few more. I'm asking for 7-10 volunteers. Thank you, Chris Arceneaux - Fleet Captain
