In general, the Houston Sierra Club supports the protection and restoration of land for the conservation of our natural resources, wildlife, and well-being of people to enjoy green spaces. Among the half dozen propositions on the November 7 ballot, Proposition C addresses our wild urban spaces and the funding the City of Houston will need to manage them.  This is not an official endorsement of proposition C by the Houston Sierra Club; however, the club seeks to inform its membership about the local use of our natural environment. 

Below is the language used for Proposition C found on the sample ballot at http://www.harrisvotes.com/SampleBallot/SampleBallot.pdf

“The issuance of $104,000,000 park improvement bonds for the conservation, improvement, acquisition, construction, and equipment of neighborhood parks, recreational facilities, and bayous, including such green spaces along all bayous to create an integrated system of bayou walking, running, and bicycle trails to enhance, preserve, and protect the health of citizens, water quality, natural habitat, and native wildlife and the levying of taxes sufficient for the payment thereof and interest thereon.”
