Join Bayou Land Conservancy on Friday, November 13, 2020, for our Annual Land Lover Gala Home on the Range (your range!) This year’s event will be held virtually and bring just as much joy and excitement as ever. Get Wild About Texas this year with keynote speaker Ben Masters, Texas Wildlife Filmmaker. Ben will take us through a journey about his latest film Deep in the Heart.

Deep in the Heart will be the first blue-chip wildlife documentary ever produced about our beloved Texas. The film will celebrate many conservation success stories while showcasing some of the most important ecological issues through the eyes of wildlife and wild places. Imagine Planet Earth…but in Texas! Through witty narration, humor, and state-of-the-art cinematography, the film will showcase approximately twenty wildlife species ranging from the iconic bison to the mysterious ocelot. The feature-length film will begin in the high plains and peaks of West Texas, flow through diverse ecoregions along our many river systems, and conclude along the bays, estuaries, and the Gulf of Mexico. Deep in the Heart aims to inspire Texans to conserve our remaining wild places, to show the connectivity of water and wildlife, and to recognize Texas’ conservation importance on a continental scale.

Walk through a construction progress Net-Zero mash up with SIP (short for Structural Insulated Panel) and combined with Fortified and Indoor Air Plus, and the living space is elevated to the second floor. Sounds resilient, doesn’t it?

Net-Zero means high performance building envelope and efficient appliances zeroed out by solar panels. Fortified is a rating system to ensure the home survives hurricanes. DOE Indoor Air Plus along with Energy Star ensures more attributes are included to promote higher indoor air quality. And the garage is on the ground so the people and the furniture above don’t flood.
