Coastal Prairie Conservancy

Coastal Prairie Conservancy was established in 1992 to conserve Katy Prairie, part of the Western Gulf coastal grasslands located in Texas, United States.

Approximately 24,500 acres is under conservation easements or owned by CPC in western Harris and Waller Counties.

Cypress Creek flows through the preserve and the combination of habitat types attracts waterfowl, waterbirds, migratory songbirds, raptors, beaver, white-tailed deer and other wildlife.

Egrets and other herons reside in the depressions during the warmer months as long as they contain water.

In 1986, the City of Houston purchased 1,432 acres for a potential future airport on Morton Road near the western edge of the Katy Prairie.
