Goose Island Marsh Restoration

Goose Island Marsh Restoration

CCA Texas volunteers participated in a marsh grass planting day at the Goose Island Marsh restoration project in the fall of 2009.

In January of 2010, CCA Texas and Texas Parks Wildlife Department (TPWD) contracted Belaire Environmental to professionally plant the remaining marsh mounds in phase one of this project. CCA Texas contributed $25,000 to this phase and facilitated the volunteer day. In August 2010, CCA Texas approved the funding for $25,000 additional dollars to fund Phase II of this project. $20,000 of these funds were secured from an Austin area foundation and $5,000 was secured from H-E-B. These funds will be used to plant the last twelve acres of marsh of this project.

Once completed, CCA Texas will have provided the necessary funding to plant all marsh mounds in the 24-acre restoration project. Another volunteer planting day is scheduled for the spring of 2011.
