Texas State Earns Stewardship Award

Texas State University was recently awarded a Community Stewardship Award from Envision Central Texas.  They were honored for their work on the Spring Lake Aquatic Restoration project, the San Marcos Record reports.

Texas State was recognized in the Natural Infrastructure category, which bestows the honor on an individual, company, organization or governmental entity for coming up with an important project which will "enhance or protect the region's environment and natural resources."

The Spring Lake Aquatic Restoration encompasses removing the structures from the former Aquarena Springs theme park, restoring the grasslands around the area, removing exotic vegetation and establishing a buffer zone between the Spring Lake and the adjoining golf course.  Texas State is partnering with the U.s. Army Corps of Engineers for the project.

Spring Lake contains eight species on the U.S. Endangered Species list and is the site of important archaeological resources dating back 13,000 years.
