Bridgeland students will get a little help for college expenses with a $35,000 endowment to fund two college scholarships.

The Bridgeland Council has established a $20,000 endowment through the Cy-Fair Educational Foundation, to benefit students living in Bridgeland. Students may attend the college of their choice upon graduation from a Cy-Fair high school. Bridgeland was one of the first to partner with the foundation in its new endowment program.

“As evidence of the emphasis on education in Bridgeland, this scholarship is being funded from Bridgeland enhancement fees,” said Peter Houghton, the development’s vice president of sales. “As revenues from enhancement fees increase, additional scholarships for aspiring Bridgeland college students may be funded.”

Crafting a master plan that truly preserves and even enhances its natural surroundings was a goal of the developers of the Bridgeland community, and one proving fruitful for its residents.

The Bridgeland community is located within and along the eastern boundaries of the Katy Prairie, an environmental gem that has provided refuge and foraging areas for 140 of resident and migratory birds, as well as various mammals, reptiles and amphibians. Bridgeland developers work closely with the Katy Prairie Conservancy to protect the valuable lands, including the historical Cypress Creek Corridor, a significant creek system occurring along Bridgeland’s northern boundaries. Residents already enjoy the beauty of the Cypress Creek area, hiking along the first phase of a six-mile trail. Winding through a canopy of trees and including environmental signage, hikers can rest at observation sites to glimpse some of the birds already identified in the area once the trail is fully open later this year. Mallard and Ramey lakes, within the Cypress Creek Corridor, also will be conserved. Both lakes are sizeable, Mallard encompasses 97 acres and Ramey Lake is even larger at 108 acres. Naturally occurring shrubs and trees along the lake borders provide habitats for an abundance of wading birds, waterfowl and other aquatic species.

Residents of the Bridgeland community will have plenty to do this month, as a bevy of classes and special events are planned.

Residents young and old can get their hands dirty in celebration of Arbor Day this month, when the Bridgeland Homeowners’ Association hosts a planting party April 18. Residents will be given seedlings to plant, enhancing the community’s natural landscape.

The fun — and the dirty hands — continue during a series of art classes. Acrylic painting is the theme for this month’s Art Zone activities. Sessions especially geared to children will focus on creating flowers and bugs.

Sales are under way in Bridgeland’s newest community, The Cove, a distinctive collection of neighborhoods surrounded by water and boasting abundant common areas.

Winding streets meander through The Cove, and many of the homesites are on cul-de-sac streets, offering either water or wooded views. A dense break of trees will buffer the major roadways and the homes. One of many unique features in The Cove is street design that prevents homes from facing busy neighborhood thoroughfares. Parks and open space are interspersed throughout the community, which includes several one-of-a-kind amenities.

“We wanted to continue our ‘Bridgeland Differences’ concept, incorporating not just playgrounds into The Cove’s master plan, but also unique areas such as a maze park and aromatic garden,” said Peter Houghton, the Bridgeland community’s vice president of sales.
