About this project

Texas H2Oasis (http://www.texash2oasis.org/) has a mission
- or three to be exact:

* Provide Environmental Education
* Restore / Manage the Land and Water Resources
* Create Eco-Sanctuary for Wildlife / Animals

Your donation of time or money is what makes this possible. Texas H2Oasis is an all-volunteer, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible. Because Texas H2Oasis is all volunteer, 100% of donations is reinvested in the Texas H2Oasis *Horse Feathers* Mustang Refuge/Avian Sanctuary, land restoration, and environmental education: http://www.texash2oasis.org/Mission_Statement_.html

Mustangs are icons, treasured symbols of American freedom and independence. By fostering, training, and placing these mustangs with qualified adopters, Texas H2Oasis is saving these icons of the American west - thanks to YOUR help: http://www.texash2oasis.org/Animal_Refuges.html.

Imagine a parcel of Central Texas land that has lain dormant for more than ten years. A mile-long ranch driveway with fenced pastures on either side and closed to traffic, runs through it. For about 15 feet on each side of the road, there are various fruit trees, agarita, yucca, cactus, and native grasses: the three levels of food/shelter resources for birds. An intermittent stream crosses the road at two places and beyond the fences are open fields. What bird wouldn't be glad to call this home? This idyllic location is the location of the Texas H2Oasis *Horse Feathers* Avian Sanctuary near Driftwood, Texas. By restoring this strip of land, native and migrating birds will have a safe haven in the midst of suburbia. Thank YOU for supporting Texas H2Oasis' *Horse Feathers* Mustang Refuge/Avian Sanctuary and making this possible!
