S T A T E P A R K A PLACE OF BEAUTY AND ABUNDANCE “The returning soldiers of the war between the United States and Mexico spread the news … of a beautiful land on the west of the Brazos River, and northwest from Waco; where rich valleys, rank in verdure, lay between hills of Alpine beauty, threaded by clear streams of the purest water, over which ran all the game which the heart of the hunter could long for (…)” valleys, protected from the fires above. These regular fires prevented trees from dominating the prairie landscape. In more recent years, humans have prevented burns to protect homes and livestock. In doing so, Ashe juniper and other trees have spread across the plateau, resulting in the loss of prairie habitat. STEVE MASLOWSKI, USFWS T – Cureton and Cureton 1905 The beauty and abundance of the area has attracted humans to this spot for thousands of years. Native Americans from the Tonkawa, Tawakoni, Wichita and Caddo tribes established villages in the region. The presence of Native Americans, plus its isolation, discouraged European settlers from landing here until the mid-19th century. Water and fire shaped the landscape of this region. Years of erosion cut steep valleys through the Edwards Limestone. Grassland fires, an important part of prairieecosystem health, burned across the high plateau. Forests of Ashe juniper, oak and cedar elm thrived in the steep BRANDI HEASLEY STORIES IN STONE EVERY GOLDEN-CHEEKED WARBLER IS A NATIVE TEXAN! Meridian State Park is home to the endangered golden-cheeked warbler. These stunning birds only breed in the mixed Ashe juniper (also known as cedar) and oak woodlands of Central Texas. The warblers arrive on their breeding grounds in March. Males attract a mate and defend their territory by singing a buzzy “tweah-tweah-twee-sy” song. The females build a nest using long strips of bark from the Ashe juniper held together by spider webs. Females lay 3-4 eggs and both parents help raise the young. Parents bring insects and spiders back to the nest to feed the chicks. In July, the birds return to their wintering grounds in southern Mexico and Central America. The golden-cheeked warbler has suffered from habitat loss. Ashe juniper woodlands, essential for the bird’s survival, have disappeared due to urban sprawl and ranching activities. Help protect Texan songbird species by planting native plant species and encouraging local landowners to conserve woodland habitat. he Great Depression of the 1930s brought hardship to the nation. Many people faced desperate times with few jobs, no money, and little hope. President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in 1933 to help conserve America’s natural resources, and restore the nation’s hope for the future. The CCC employed young men, ages 18-25, and gave them the opportun

WELCOME from Rodney Franklin, State Parks Director This year is very special for Texas State Parks: We are celebrating our 100-year anniversary in 2023. More and more Texans are discovering the beauty of State Parks and exploring the outdoors in new and adventurous ways. Our teams across the state are incredibly excited to welcome outdoor enthusiasts, especially those who have yet to discover what our parks have to offer. The variety of Texas’ lands is unmatched; from the mountains of west Texas to the Gulf shores, the Texas State Park system celebrates and preserves the natural and cultural treasures that make Texas such a special place. The 640,000-plus acres that make up the state park system are nearly as diverse as the people of Texas. Since 1923, our mission has been to help connect our visitors with the outdoors. As we honor those who have come before us, I invite a new generation to be a part of the story of the lands that connect us all. There is more to enjoy in our parks than you know, so please join us in our celebrations and activities. Every day we look for new and better ways to ensure your state parks are welcoming to every Texan, regardless of their background or experience being outside. I hope you’ll visit soon and often, while bringing your friends and family along. YOU are a natural and we’re looking forward to celebrating the 100-year anniversary of state parks with you!
