THE SPRING CREEK GREENWAY will connect and protect up to 12,000 acres of Piney Woods along both sides of Spring Creek, preserving an ecological gem and providing a venue for outdoor recreation, education and ecotourism beginning just a few miles from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
The Spring Creek Greenway is the result of the cooperative efforts of visionary public officials and
conservationists, supported by hardworking staff members, volunteers, and private and public contributors
of land and funds over a twenty year period. Those who have been instrumental include:
Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle
Montgomery County Precinct 3 Commissioner Ed Chance
Texas Commission On Environmental Quality
Others contributing include Houston Audubon Society, The Trust for Public Land, Texas Parks &
Wildlife, Corps of Engineers Galveston District, Harris County Flood Control District, Texas Master Naturalists, Montgomery County Parks Department, and many other organizations and businesses.
