Emily Manderson is the conservation director for the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center and Christine Mansfield is their manager of marketing and development. The Houston Arboretum is in the middle of a 3 phase renovation which will include a new Children's playscape. Major improvements have already been made to the nature trails and you should know their Arboretum at Night events to learn about and see some of the awesome animals that live alongside the bayou. People don't realize the bayous are highways for wildlife but you can find out a lot about them just by going to their website: Www.houstonarboretum.org
