Event Description
Calling people of all faiths – or no faith at all: Spend two hours living out your values by helping restore
vital ecosystems on the Coastal Heritage Preserve as you plant native coastal prairie species. The two
hours of hands-on volunteering will have an impact for centuries to come as these plants mitigate
erosion, fix nitrogen, filter heavy metals, and provide habitat to the wildlife that call the 1,039 acres
“home.” This activity involves standing, walking, and digging holes in the forgiving sandy alkaline soil of
Galveston Island. Children 5+ are welcome to participate with parents/guardians. Please wear long
pants, closed toe shoes, gloves, and sun protection. Bring a refillable water bottle and bug spray. All
tools needed to do the work and an igloo of drinking water will be provided This event is organized by
the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, in partnership with Artist Boat. We look forward to
seeing y’all out on the prairie! Please register for this event for planning purposes on
