Join us as we celebrate the 2024 Coastal Prairie Conservancy Bash! The theme for this year's event, "Colors of Conservation," pays tribute to the hues and textures of the vibrant prairie landscape. It's you, the Coastal Prairie Conservancy's supporters, donors, and volunteers, who bring to life the broad strokes and fine details of successful conservation work in the region. 

At the heart of this evening's celebration is the recognition of Dr. Phil Bedient and the SSPEED Center at Rice University, a research and education center working to better address severe storm prediction and its impact on the region. As the Center’s Director and Principal Investigator, Dr. Bedient has been at the forefront of Houston’s response to extreme weather events and a champion for natural solutions to environmental challenges. Prairie conservation is a leading example of these natural solutions and is an essential part of our region’s future resiliency. The Coastal Prairie Conservancy is honored to celebrate Dr. Bedient and the SSPEED Center’s significant contributions to research-based conservation efforts across the Houston area.

We eagerly anticipate celebrating what we have achieved together on May 1, 2024!
