We are excited to announce that this year's Symposium will include a special field tour led by Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD), where participants will witness the results of a six-year-old reforestation project along Sims Bayou. Covering a six-acre area, this project is HPARD's first site within their Riparian Restoration Initiative, aimed at revitalizing riparian forests in City of Houston parks near waterways. Guided by HPARD's Natural Resources staff, Kelli Ondracek and Cassidy Kempf, the tour will provide valuable insights into the lessons learned and the evolving restoration methods over time.
