Houston Wilderness is a nonprofit alliance of business, nonprofit, and government partners working together to protect, preserve, and promote the ten diverse ecoregions across Greater Houston, Galveston Bay, and the Gulf Coast. They convene stakeholders, lead ecosystem service initiatives, and educate the public about nature’s role in regional resilience and equity.
Local ecosystems like coastal marshes, pine savannahs, and prairie meadows provide critical services—from flood resilience to climate mitigation. Houston Wilderness supports large‑scale planting, green infrastructure, and planning frameworks—empowering underserved communities and building climate‑smart infrastructure regionally.
Houston Wilderness advances pathways of Community Infrastructure (green infrastructure and equitable access), Sustainability Equity (environmental justice and resilience), and Civic Engagement (collaborative convening across sectors) through place-based ecoregion work.
