​Today, less than 1% of the Texas tallgrass prairie remains. Cindy and Ray have turned their attention to restoring this unique habitat. Through prescribed burns and in partnership with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, Redbud Nature Preserve is being managed and restored to its native grassland prairie and forested grassland character. Bayou Land Conservancy’s permanent protection of this land through a conservation agreement is the next step to ensure that this land is protected forever for the benefit of future generations.
