A project to reforest creeksides in the Brazos Basin.

Our Project

We are working on a project to increase tree canopy cover along waterways in the Brazos Basin beginning in Waller County. We are reaching out to landowners with property along creeks between Prairie View A&M University and the Brazos River.



We’d love your participation!

Benefits
No-cost native trees and plants
Mitigate flooding and decrease erosion
Increase biodiversity
Provide wildlife with greater access to food and expanded travel corridors
Project Site
Our first focus area is the twelve-mile stretch between Clear Creek and Ponds Creek, bounded by the Brazos River and the Prairie View A&M University campus.

PVAMU

A Learning Laboratory

The starting point for our broader plan to reforest creeks in the Brazos Basin is a 90-acre site just off the PVAMU campus that is currently ecologically degraded. In collaboration with our project partners, we plan to revitalize the site, including transforming 22 of its acres into a forested wetland.

This landscape is being reimagined as a field-based learning laboratory where students can directly engage with processes of ecology, hydrology, and land stewardship through observation, research, and hands-on learning.

How to join

If you are interested in exploring whether your property may qualify, we encourage you to complete our project interest form. An initial assessment does not obligate you to participate and can help determine whether the program is a good fit for your land and goals!

We expect the first cohort of planting to start in late 2027.
