Spring Creek Greenway Website Unveiled

Montgomery County just unveiled their new Spring Creek Greenway website at http://www.springcreekgreenway.org, also mirrored at http://www.springcreekgreenway.com and http://www.springcreekgreenway.net. The website provides practical information on Montgomery County Preserve and Peckinpaugh Preserve, including flora/fauna lists, maps and photo galleries. It also includes a Native Tree Guide and Papa Stahl's Wild Stuff Cookbook, originally published in 1974 by naturalist Carmine Stahl.

The Spring Creek Greenway will connect and protect up to 12,000 acres of forest, on both sides of the creek, in order to preserve, protect, restore, and educate. The project will preserve an ecological gem, a biologically diverse ecosystem that provides important habitat for many wildlife species, and aims to create an ecotourism mecca and a peaceful respite from busy urban lives for those from Houston or even nationwide.

Made possible by the Texas Forest Service Urban Forestry Partnership Grant, the website was created along with a video and informational brochure by Wendee Holtcamp of LOGOS Communications, LLC.

Holtcamp, who holds a Master of Science degree in Wildlife Ecology, brings over 10 years of writing, photographic and design experience to the table, published in National Wildlife, Sierra, and Audubon Magazines, and Discovery Channel Online, among others.
