Bayou Nature Preserve to
the public on Saturday.
It is located south of In-
terstate 10 off of F M 563

sion.
1 he preserve consists
of 514 acres of protected
wetland, prairie and forest-
ed habitats including nat-
ural surface hiking trails,
elevated wildlife viewing
platforms, and a canoe and
kayak launch site.
‘‘We are thrilled to have
permanently protected this
land and now make it avail-
able to the public to enjoy,”
said Anna Deichmann,
GBF land stewardship co-
ordinator. “We encourage
people to come out and
walk the trails and view

nently protected more than
8,000 acres of coastal hab-
itat within the Galveston

ture Preserve is funded in
part by a financial assis-
tance award from the U.S.

To ensure that the EPA’s decision to re-
move the San Jacinto River Waste Pits Su-
perfund Site will go through as planned,
San Jacinto River Coalition Director Jac-
quelyn Young informed community mem-

northern and southern portion of the waste
pits. The northern portion measures 14
acres while the southern part is about 20
acres in size. Now, the public comment
period is open until Nov. 28 and Young is
