The director of the Bayou Land Conservancy announced yesterday that a 100-acre tract of flood-prone land surrounding Cypress Creek just south of the Hewlett-Packard campus between Hwy. 249 and Jones Rd. will now become a permanent conservation easement. (Segments of the waterway marked in dark and light blue in the map at right indicate the 100-year floodway and 100-year floodplain, respectively.) The land trust purchased the property with help from a $500,000 Houston Endowment grant; plans are to incorporate the tract into the planned Cypress Creek Greenway, extending the full length of the bayou from Spring Creek to the Katy Prairie:

I used to work at Jesse Jones Park about 8 years ago and this was right when they started the Spring Creek Grennway Project. Im glad they finally finalized one of the conservation easements. I only wish they could have preserved more of the forest along the creek. So much has been lost to generic crap suburbia, it makes me so sad.
UN Agenda 21, in action…
@markd — Why stop there? Tell us more conspiratorial lore.
Not really conspiratorial lore:
