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.
