Native Coastal Prairie Preserve likely refers to one of the restoration zones managed by organizations such as the Katy Prairie Conservancy or within Armand Bayou Nature Center. These areas aim to restore Houston’s native tallgrass prairies, which have been reduced to less than 1% of their original extent. Such preserves showcase native species like switchgrass, big bluestem, and Indian grass, along with wildlife like bobcats, hawks, and butterflies. Educational programs, volunteer prairie planting, and guided hikes are often part of the experience. These preserves are essential for regional flood protection and biodiversity and offer a rare glimpse into what Houston looked like before urbanization.
