About
The Gulf-Houston Regional Conservation Plan (Gulf-Houston RCP), facilitated by Houston Wilderness, is a long-term collaborative of environmental, business, and governmental entities working together to implement resilience plan for the eight-county Gulf-Houston region. The three key goals of the Gulf-Houston RCP include: (1) increasing the current 12.3% in protected/preserved land in the eight-county region to 24% of land coverage by 2040, (2) increasing and supporting the region-wide land management efforts to install nature-based stabilization techniques, such as low-impact development, living shorelines, and bioswales, to 50% of land coverage by 2040, and (3) providing research and advocacy for an increase of 0.4% annually in air quality offsets through carbon absorption in native soils, plants, trees, and oyster reefs.
