What a great day trip to Houston! I was led by botanical guru (and City Nature Challenge species dominator!) Andy Newman -- the mission: find as many species as possible. I wish I would have taken some better photos...
Third spot on the list was this really amazing park – Lake Houston Wilderness Park. Andy has some good connections here, so we were able to go to some really cool spots a bit off the beaten path. We spent time going through some wet woody areas and visited a cool lake on the southern part of the park too. Awesome place!
