WE MUST raise the final $3.4 Million by June 30th to SAVE 204 acres for critically endangered prairies and rare freshwater wetlands on West Galveston Island. We are 82% of the way to raising the $16 million dollars needed to conserve this land forever and including it in the Coastal Heritage Preserve. Donate $10 today and #BeOneInAMillion

The Be One in a Million campaign is our grassroots engine. We are asking one million people to give $10 each. This approach is powerful because every small gift helps leverage much larger state and federal grant dollars. For every $10 donated, $372 in federal and state conservation dollars is unlocked. So far, over 2,500 donors have contributed nearly $2.3M. We believe everyone is a Conservationist. By partnering with everyday citizens like you as well as with state, local, and federal organizations and agencies, we believe the wilds of Galveston Island can be preserved for generations to come.

We have raised $13.28 million of the $16.36 million we need to save land that is critical for birds, coyotes, and more. We now have only 5 months to raise the remaining $3.4 million dollars. You can help save this land from the development of 1,300 second-homes that will displace or destroy entire habitats.

Artist Boat is working to protect the last wild corridor on west Galveston Island. Our immediate focus is a push to secure the remaining funding of $3,481,000 of the $16,361,000 to acquire 204 additional acres for the Coastal Heritage Preserve (the Preserve). This acquisition will bring the total land saved to 1,243 acres, achieving 88% of our ultimate 1,400-acre goal. Ancient Dune Swales exist all across the Island. In particular, we are looking to save the dune swales existing in the area between 8 Mile Road and Pabst Road between the 3005 San Luis Pass Road and Steward Road. The acreage already saved have protected 3-miles of living bay shorelines in the areas between LaFitte’s Cove and Spanish Grant, past Spanish Grant and along Settegast Road.
