About BAYOU LAND CONSERVANCY

Bayou Land Conservancy (BLC) is a regional land trust based in the Lake Houston watershed that works with private landowners, public partners, and communities to permanently protect land along streams for flood control, water quality, and wildlife habitat. The organization implements conservation easements, acquires and stewards preserves, and operates public-access projects and environmental education programs for youth and adults. In recent years BLC has advanced a 2023–2028 strategic plan, completed major preserve projects, and expanded community education and stewardship activities across its service area.
