Ever wonder how conserving water at home or work really does have a direct impact on Texas wildlife and habitats?
The more water we use…the more reservoirs need to be created…the more we loose massive chunks of scenic rivers like the Neches…and the more pristine bottomland forest habitat is flooded that the amazing diversity of east Texas wildlife needs to survive…
Texas Monthly is featuring the beautiful Neches River with a 7-minute video and also with a piece in the May magazine. Texas Monthly tells about the Neches and efforts to have it designated as a National Wild and Scenic River.
A few tips on what you can do to help save wild Texas rivers like the Neches:
-Turn off the water when you brush your teeth!
-Only run full loads of dishes and clothing!
-Water your lawn in the early evening on late afternoon!
-Go native (I don’t mean streak naked through your lawn, but instead plant native plants) They require less water, are less susceptible to disease and attract native wildlife like bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.
-Limit baths, take shorter showers!
