The ten distinct ecoregions within southeast Texas make it among the most environmentally diverse areas in the United States. The Sam Houston Greenbelt is conceived as a ribbon of undeveloped land encircling Houston and connecting existing parks, refuges, beaches and waterways, thereby protecting portions of these ten irreplaceable native landscapes.
The Bayou Greenways will serve as spokes, connecting Houston’s urban neighborhoods
to each other and to this outer loop. Th e combined system of hiking,
paddling, bicycling and equestrian trails within protected green space will
decrease repetitive fl ood damage, improve water quality, and boost outdoor
recreation, ecotourism and economic growth.
