Austin’s environmental movement has long been defined by its opposition to development. As far back as the 1950s, activists were fighting new subdivisions and working to preserve open space. Without their work, we might not have Barton Springs, the Barton Creek greenbelt, the Lady Bird Lake trail or Roy Guerrero Park. These natural treasures helped make Austin a wonderful place to live – and word got out. Our region's population and economy are among the fastest-growing in the country.
