Texas alone is home to more than 3,700-streams & 
15 major rivers. Totaling 191,000-miles, riparian 
areas are essential in storing and protecting water 
quality, preventing erosion, and providing nutrients 
and habitat for fish, fireflies and wildlife. 
Our actions can sustain healthy, vibrant natural riparian 
areas for all to enjoy now and in the future. Often, 
the best thing you can do for stream banks is leave 
them alone. Heavy equipment compacts soil, making 
recovery difficult. Cleared, manicured turf lawns are 
extremely low stabilizer plant communities offering 
little soil protection or water filtration. After flooding, 
leave downed trees and drift in place where practical. 
Native, deep-rooted, diverse plant communities 
work together with big dead wood, limbs and debris 
to help dissipate floodwater energy, filter and trap 
sediment, and stabilize soil and plant recovery.

In all these years, never met anyone who could speak Texas Rivers 
like you do! Been great fun and many good rides up and down 
those precious few that remain of Texas’ pristine streams. Don’t 
know how many “see the light” moments we’ve had together sharing 
river and prairie threads into one intricately woven basket. Your 
deep inside, practical understanding of how remarkable riparian 
areas function has put so many others on a path to stewardship. 
Understanding crucial connections of upland prairie 
grasslands, bottomland rivers and creeks is a rare quality 
today—when so many people spend so much of their time 
rolling around on concrete. 
From your friends at the seed farm and the Neiman family.
