What We’re Protecting
The Lower Brazos River flows through the heart of Texas and its watershed captures the center of the rolling hills and savannas of the Cross Timbers, the dark clay of the Blackland Prairie, and the sandy Post Oak savanna ecoregions before briefly passing through the gilf coast prairie ecoregion on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. Along its meandering course through Texas, the lower Brazos, and its connected network of natural tributaries, oxbow lakes, and floodplain wetlands, possess varied and important aquatic habitat types and harbor numerous rare species of fish, mollusks, and crayfish.
