Coastal Parkitecture, Bay Trawlers & Alum Creek Toads

The Gulf Coast DesignLab Goes to Galveston
Coastal state parks need durable, versatile structures, and design students need projects.  See what the Gulf Coast DesignLab at the University of Texas at Austin is building in parks along the coast.

Bay Trawlers
Ride along on a trawl of Texas bays to collect data on the marine species that live there. You never know what the nets will pull up.

Lone Star Land Steward: Alum Creek Wildlife Management Association
The Alum Creek Wildlife Management Association’s original mandate was on the recovery of the federally endangered Houston toad in Bastrop County. After wildfire devastated the community, the organization broadened its focus slightly to help WMA members recover their homes, properties and toad habitat. Land management practices implemented on member properties in recent years have contributed to an increase in both quantity and quality of habitat for the Houston toad as well as other native wildlife species that occur in the Lost Pines area of Texas.
