The Nature Conservancy of Texas Awards The Woodlands Development Company

The Nature Conservancy of Texas gave a special award to The Woodlands Development Company at the group's 16th annual Houston Conservation Leadership Awards Luncheon.

The George Mitchell Nature Preserve in The Woodlands in Creekside Park was the receiver of this award for vision and development. This Nature Preserve was named after The Woodlands' founder, George Mitchell and is a gorgeous 1,700 nature preserve.

The Spring Creek Greenway Project is an initiative of Montgomery and Harris counties; the plan is to conserve more than 33 miles along Spring Creek for a regional park and nature trail system which will extend from the San Jacinto River in Humble to Burroughs Park in Spring. The George Mitchell Nature Preserve in The Woodlands Texas is a major link in this project and thus received this honoring award.

The Award The Woodlands received is not bestowed annually, it is only presented when there is an individual achievement and it warrants recognition.
