| WHEREAS, Ken Bailey of Kountze has been recognized as a | ||
| Certified Forest Steward by the Texas A&M Forest Service and the | ||
| USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A partnership between the forest service and | ||
| conservation service, the Texas Forest Stewardship Program | ||
| recognizes landowners who implement a written stewardship plan on | ||
| at least 10 acres; A&M Forest Service members help develop the plan | ||

| WHEREAS, Ken Bailey transformed more than 200 acres of bare | ||
| land into a thriving site with a growing forest and habitat for fish | ||

| previous forestry experience, but with the assistance of agency | ||
| personnel, he has created a garden and an orchard, as well as ponds; | ||
| he has also installed brush piles for rabbits, bee hives, bat | ||
| houses, and more than 50 bluebird houses; the wonderful array of | ||
| wildflowers on the property includes bluebonnets, honeysuckle, | ||
| morning glories, and sunflowers; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through his dedication to promoting forestation and | ||
| protecting local flora and fauna, Ken Bailey has made his corner of | ||
| the state more beautiful, productive, and vibrant, and he is indeed | ||
| deserving of this prestigious accolade; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby congratulate Ken Bailey on | ||
| his recognition as a Certified Forest Steward by the Texas A&M | ||
| Forest Service and the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service | ||
| and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success in his | ||
| worthwhile endeavors; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. Bailey as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
