ecocenter

At the heart of the NRG's conservation ethic is our ecocenter, a multi-use facility at NRG's Cedar Bayou Station in Texas.

The ecocenter provides infrastructure for conservation activities such as growing plants used for prairie restoration, wetland restoration and carbon sequestration. The center provides the necessary ingredients for restoration activities in and around Galveston Bay.

Features of the ecocenter include:

• 23 earthen ponds used to grow wetland plants
• Four above ground shallow-water ponds
• One greenhouse
• A 30-seat classroom, offices and a laboratory

The ecocenter is focused on education and achievement, working with schools, universities, environmental organizations and state and federal resource conservation organizations.
