Currently, the Driftwood community is working with Hays County Commissioners and Texas state legislators to place the Travis Heritage Trail under the Texas State Transportation Code Title 6, Chapter 391., Highway Beautification. This will ban junk yards, sanitary fills and billboard placement on the Heritage Trail, and preserve the beauty and historic significance of this roadway for future generations. 

DHCS is happy to report that the results of our Capital Campaign allows us to move ahead with our Overland Partners planning project!  Our deep appreciation goes out to all our donors whose generosity is enabling DHCS to take this important step.  

To help to preserve William B. Travis’s history along the William B. Travis Heritage Trail in the Onion Creek Valley, the DHCS is raising funds to obtain a marker documenting the land site , history and place attractive landscaping on the site where the historical marker will be located.

Last spring, a large group of Dripping Springs High School students conducted a service project at our Natural Area.  They assisted with installation of freestanding rainwater systems  (donated by Plateau Land & Wildlife) as well as other necessary  weeding and cleanup activities. Master Naturalists also provided support. Another project is planned for this March.
