EcoCenter Weekly Nursery Workdays

Grow native plants. Restore the prairie.

At the GBF EcoCenter Greenhouse, staff and volunteers cultivate native plants to restore and manage coastal tallgrass prairie across the Galveston Bay region.

Every Thursday and Saturday from 8:00–11:00 AM, volunteers work in the nursery to support one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. This work helps create habitat for wildlife and strengthens natural flood protection.

Getting There

• Search for “EcoCenter Sponsored by Reliant” when using Google Maps - View site on Google.com . Alternatively, you can enter the coordinates (29.750970027078534, -94.91775406482465) into your maps application as you would a street address.
• From TX-99 and W Bay Rd/Old F-M Rd 1405
• Head north to turn into Bayer Rd.
• Turn left on the restricted road; you will see an EcoCenter directional sign (its like a small yard sign with a blue arrow).
• Continue on the restricted road for 200 ft until you reach the EcoCenter on the left.
  Note: The Ecocenter does not have a public address and is a part of the larger NRG Cedar Bayou campus. Getting here can be complicated without a map application. Feel free to contact Carter Clay, Nursery Operations, at cclay@galvbay.org (281)684-2858 before you come for more help with how to get there.
