Dear GEAA members and friends,
Today it was announced that the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Texas Nature Conservancy have reached an agreement with the Urbanczyk family to purchase the Honey Creek Ranch.
Except for the two parcels that were deeded to the Comal Independent School District and the home of the Urbanczyk family, all 515 acres of what was to become the Honey Creek Ranch subdivision will now be added to the Honey Creek Natural Area.
We hope that the Urbanczyk’s will enjoy many happy times to come surrounded by beautiful land and wildlife that will now be preserved in perpetuity and we thank them for making this wonderful outcome possible.
Thanks too, to Texas Nature Conservancy, Texas Parks & Wildlife, and all who worked together towards this felicitous outcome, and especially to all of you GEAA members who supported our work early on, including the Texas Cave Management Association, the Amy Shelton McNutt Charitable Trust, S/M Hixon Family Foundation, Honey Creek Spring Ranch, the National Speleological Society, Bulverde Neighbors for Clean Water, the Dawson and Elmendorf families, Bulverde’s Mayor Krawietz and City Council member Yvonne Chapman.
Lastly, were it not for funding allocated by the federal government through the Land and Water Conservation Fund this purchase might not have been possible. You will have a chance to approve more funding for Texas parks this November. Learn more about the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund here.
We will be working with the Comal ISD to incorporate green infrastructure into the plans for the new schools on this site. How lovely that students will get the chance to learn while surrounded by a nature preserve!
Would that all of the contentious issues we are involved in be resolved this happily.
Over the moon!
Annalisa Peace
