Even the Texas heat can’t keep us from being outside! TEI alongside Harris County Precinct One took a walk along the Mercer Detention Basin last week as part of fieldwork for a feasibility study.
The Mercer Detention Basin project was recently completed by Harris County Flood Control District. The basin has a lot of natural beauty, including views of Cypress Creek. We are working with Precinct One on connecting the basin to the existing trail network near the Mercer Botanic Gardens.
