The Katy Prairie Conservancy officially changed its name to Coastal Prairie Conservancy on May 5. The change was announced at the organization’s gala. The name change signifies the broader reach of the organization, which aims to conserve Texas prairie land. “We look at our name change as a more accurate depiction of where we are today and where we want to be tomorrow,” said Mary Anne Piacentini, president and CEO of Coastal Prairie Conservancy, via a press release. “Coastal Prairie Conservancy better reflects the expansion of our mission. While the Katy Prairie is still a critical part of our DNA and we will continue to find ways to expand the Katy Prairie Preserve, the success of our endeavors during the past 30 years means we’ve greatly expanded the area that we now preserve for Texans. Between our acquisitions and our partnerships, we stretch from Katy to the Gulf Coast.” 713-523-6135.
