Mobilizing the Environmental Education Community Through Prairie Education

During this two-year project, the University of Houston-Clear Lake’s Environmental Institute of Houston and the Native Prairies Association of Texas helped students and teachers across the Houston area discover the importance of native coastal prairies.
