The Citrus Root Weevil, a non-native, very active, and very damaging agricultural pest, was recently spotted in Russ Pitman Park. This is the first known sighting of this particular pest in the Houston area, and its find is generating a buzz in the entomological community.
EPA Region 6, which includes the Houston area, would appreciate your help in generating a list of  Smart Growth (SG), Low Impact Development (LID), and/or Green Infrastructure (GI) projects or practices that have been or are being implemented in the region.
Clean Air Through Energy Efficiency (CATEE) will offer its 2009 conference on October 14-16, 2009, at the Rennaisance Houston Greenway Plaza. More at http://catee.tamu.edu/home.
