Protect a suburban edge prairie remnant at George Bush Park, site 4, George Bush Park, 16756 Westheimer Pkwy, Houston, TX 77082 (public Harris County Precinct 3 park inside Barker Reservoir, adjoining Katy) (2026-07-30)

The survey above found invasive cover or bare disturbed soil on this native prairie remnant strip at George Bush Park's residential boundary, and hand clearing, hand seeding, and simple boundary markers would otherwise let this last piece of the Katy Prairie slip away. Standard: Xerces Society pollinator habitat installation guidelines (native forb and grass mix, no-till establishment), applied here to a suburban-edge Katy Prairie remnant strip at George Bush Park, Harris County, TX. SDG 15.5 biodiversity. Proof: before after photos plus species and seed rate record plus boundary marker count plus GPS Method (Xerces Society pollinator habitat installation guidelines (native forb and grass mix, no-till establishment), applied here to a suburban-edge Katy Prairie remnant strip at George Bush Park, Harris County, TX. SDG 15.5 biodiversity.): 1. 1. Confirm the remnant strip's boundary with Harris County Precinct 3 parks staff and photograph the invasive cover or bare soil before starting. 2. 2. Hand clear invasive plants from the strip with hand tools only, no power equipment. 3. 3. Hand broadcast native prairie grass and forb seed onto the cleared strip at the design rate. 4. 4. Hand set simple stake and rope boundary markers along the strip's edge and photograph the finished strip from the matching before vantage. Done when: before after photos plus species and seed rate record plus boundary marker count plus GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 90–300 minutes. Method of record: Pollinator habitat strip establishment per Xerces Society native forb/grass planting guidelines (site-appropriate regional mix, no-till drill or hand-broadcast seeding) — SDG 15.5 biodiversity; assess→seed→verify

Bring

regional native forb/grass seed mix (Xerces Society or state pollinator-plan approved) at the planned rate
no-till drill or hand broadcaster + rake for seed-to-soil contact
camera + GPS + boundary marking flags/stakes
gloves + sun protection

Steps

1. ASSESS: photograph the strip/margin as found (bare ground, existing weeds, adjacent crop or pasture edge), record GPS boundary and area, and confirm the native mix + rate + seeding window against the site plan.
2. Prepare the seedbed minimally (light raking of surface crust or weed knock-down already completed by others; no deep tillage) and mark the planting boundary.
3. Broadcast or drill the native forb/grass mix at the planned rate and shallow depth appropriate to the species mix.
4. Ensure seed-to-soil contact (rake-in or roll) and photograph/log the seeded boundary, mix, and rate as the establishment record.
5. VERIFY: return at the plan's check window and photograph emergence across ≥3 representative points along the strip; log estimated native cover and flag bare gaps for reseeding.

If it does not match the plan

Outside the viable seeding window for the regional mix -> reschedule; do not seed to fail.
Existing weed pressure needs herbicide knock-down first -> route to a licensed applicator as a separate job before seeding.
Strip drains directly to a waterway with no buffer -> route to the conservation planner for a setback plan first.

What counts as done

Seeding record complete: date, native mix, rate, area, GPS boundary, before photos
Emergence check photos at ≥3 representative points inside the check window
No pesticide/herbicide applied by this crew during establishment

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
