Cypress Creek Greenway Project

Greeting LIFEers! This week we learned about something near and dear to our lives, if not our hearts: the Cypress Creek Greenway Project! John Robertson joined us to talk about the plans and preparations for this magnificent park project, all happening in our backyards. No more driving to Terry Hershey park or the arboretum, you will be able to hike, bike, or walk the dog through miles of planned trails all across north Houston. Read about the project on the excellent slide show below, or check out their website, also below. Parks are good for the environment, the mind/body/soul and even improve local home values. So start walking, and support your local park systems.
