Ingraham Gully is a small but important part of Houston’s stormwater infrastructure, located in the historic Fifth Ward. It functions as an open drainage channel, carrying runoff into the Buffalo Bayou watershed and helping reduce localized flooding. Like many similar systems, it reflects long standing infrastructure patterns in underserved communities, where open drainage has been more common. Over time, the gully has faced challenges including pollution, illegal dumping, and periods of limited maintenance. Community efforts, including cleanups led by PFWCA, highlight both the need and opportunity to improve and reimagine these spaces as functional, accessible, and environmentally supportive assets. #Houston #fifthward #PFWCA #buffalobayou #environmentalawareness #greenspace #waterways #watershed #natureinthecity #DistrictB #texas

Hey everyone 🌱 let me introduce you to Adriana and her incredible education company, 3s A Treat. Through a thoughtful series of three books designed for early childhood learning, she’s opening the door for our little ones to understand food, science, and nutrition in a way that’s fun, engaging, and empowering. These are the seeds that shape lifelong habits and the earlier we plant them, the stronger our future grows.
