SUMMARY:Field Trip: Lawther-Deer Park Prairie
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Location: Registration is required and limited space is available. The location will be sent to registered participants only. Email Della_Barbato@TexasPrairie.org to register.  She will e-mail you a liability waiver and important parking instructions. \n\n\n\nThings To Bring: We will wander off trail\, so boots/closed toe shoes and bug spray recommended. Thereare some wetlands\, and since your leader is a wetland ecologist he likely is going to want to get wet tosee fun species such as powdery thalia (Thalia dealbata). Follow at your own risk (you should do it – whynot?). Please bring adequate hydration and other items you may require to be comfortable. We will be infull sun the entire time\, so dress appropriately. \n\n\n\nField Trip Overview: Please at some point\, find out the conservation story of this 51 acre property\, itspeaks accolades of many people and groups who came together to preserve a jewel of the habitat typethat used to dominate the Greater Houston Area. This is called a “platinum prairie” with over 400 plantspecies identified. In depth information provided by Singhurst et al. in The Vascular Flora and PlantCommunities of Lawther-Deer Park Prairie\, Harris County\, Texas\, USA (link below). As Singhurst et al.points out there are six distinctive vegetation communities present within the area. Plant speciesrepresentation include Grasses (84 species)\, Sunflowers (68 species)\, Sedges (33 species) andLegumes (19 species). Since your leader is a grass and sedge nerd- we will focus on finding someuncommon species to the area such as slender bluestem (Schizachyrium tenerum)\, Pineywoodsdropseed (Sporobolus junceus)\, purple silkyscale (Anthenantia rufa)\, Texas windmill grass (Chloristexensis)\, and Georgia nutrush (Scleria georgiana- one of leader’s favorites\, has cool iridescent pits onachene [seed]). It may be a week or two early\, but we may find nodding ladies tresses (Spiranthescernua). From a conservation perspective\, we will discuss how these areas are key to preserving diversity and genetics and can be utilized to promote future restoration efforts. Additionally\, we may also discuss management limitations of areas like this (e.g. difficulty burning/grazing\, invasive pathways\, woody encroachment\, etc.). \n\n\n\nSinghurst et al Paper: https://texasprairie.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Flora-and-plant-coummunities-of-Deer-Park-Prairie.pdf \n\n\n\nAdditional Site Information: https://texasprairie.org/deerpark/ \n\n\n\nLeader Bio: Andy Newman is the Chief Ecologist at The Earth Partners and has 15 years’ experienceworking within diverse ecosystems for a wide array of project types. His position places an emphasisleading the technical ecological restoration of projects\, managing construction and adaptive management\, and helping clients meet their compensatory mitigation requirements.

Andy’s specialties include aquatic feature delineations and jurisdictional determinations\, Clean Water Act permitting\, threatened and endangered species identification and consultations\, NEPA compliance\, plant identification\, and community classification. His favorite ecosystems include longleaf pine savannas\, coastal prairies\, and southern Appalachian forests. \n\n\n\nAdditional Coordination Details: Please contact Bob Romero for any further coordination details atbobromero@gmail.com or by phone at (713) 248-6030. \n\n\n\nPhoto Credit:  Suzanne Simpson
