In a recent research effort, Ja-Mar donated new roofing to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Ja-Mar worked in conjunction with the Texas Water Development Board to research which roofing materials are best for rainwater harvesting. This research is important to help in efforts to conserve water in Texas and was especially helpful to the Wildflower Center. Thanks to Ja-Mar’s donation, the Wildflower Center can conserve more water while keeping the beautiful landscape green.
