Port Houston team members spent April 13 volunteering at Marsh Mania, a popular environmental project, located at Virginia Point near Galveston. Port Houston team members joined dozens of local organizations and other community members for the nationally-recognized wetlands restoration project, where they planted stems of cordgrass to create new marsh habitat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks to all our volunteers and their families for coming out to support this important cause,\u201d said Garret Berg, community relations manager. \u201cCoastal wetlands play an essential role in the overall health of Galveston Bay, and we appreciate all the individuals and organizations that participated.\u201d <\/p>\n
In its 21 years, Marsh Mania has involved more than 8,000 community volunteers in the restoration of roughly 209 acres of vital estuarine marsh habitat at 92 sites around Galveston Bay.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMany of our outreach projects not only help improve the environment, but they also help us engage our Port Houston team members from across the organization in larger initiatives that have wide-reaching benefits we can all enjoy,\u201d said Leslie Herbst, community relations and events director for Port Houston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
