Speak Up For Nature in Texas

November 4, 2020

Update: PROP A has passed by a 69.5% margin! 

Texans in Hays County showed up and spoke out for nature, and as a result, $75 million in bond funding will be committed to county parks and open spaces to protect clean drinking water, safeguard outdoor spaces, and preserve Central Texas for future generations. This includes funding for Hays County to purchase historic El Rancho Cima, which TNC Texas acquired last November, for future use as a public park and preserve.
