Native plants play a major role in the mission of Houston Audubon. As an accredited Land Trust, our efforts go above and beyond birding as we are established stewards of over 4,000 acers of land in the Greater Houston Region. This presentation will offer a dive into native plant production at our Natives Nursery, how our “Bird-Friendly Spaces” initiative is rejuvenating landscapes, and offer information on our already bird-friendly sanctuary system.
About the Speaker
Gabriel Durham manages Houston Audubon’s Bird Friendly Community Program, which includes Lights Out Texas, Bird-Friendly Spaces, advocacy efforts, the native plant nursery, and community partnerships. If you are looking for ways to make Houston and the surrounding area more bird-friendly via going lights out, policy change, infrastructure change, or want to get your space recognized as a bird-friendly space, feel free to reach out! Gabriel has over a decade of experience in green space management in the Houston region and is a certified LEED Green Associate as well as a Texas Master Naturalist in the Gulf Coast Chapter.
