The Army Corps of Engineers is currently considering whether to issue a permit to allow the Harris County Flood Control District to bulldoze the banks of Buffalo Bayou. The public comment period closed on June 30, 2014, but you can still let the Corps know that you oppose the plan to destroy one of the last remaining riparian forests in Houston. Tell them to deny the permit or modify it in favor of\u00a0 a better plan that allows our mysterious, slow-moving bayou to continue healing itself, enhancing the native habitat and preserving wildlife.<\/p>\n
