[edit] San Antonio Springs area to become urban forest
Excerpts from a story in the July 1st San Antonio Express-News and http://www.mysanantonio.com/:
- Up to 65 acres of pristine woodlands, where Native Americans and bison once roamed, will be preserved as an urban forest on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word.
- The land, which boasts the largest Texas mountain laurel tree in the country, will be a spiritual and natural sanctuary likely dubbed Headwaters because it includes the beginning of the San Antonio River, the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word said Friday.
- ...
- A committee of sisters, university leaders and community members has been meeting for four years, working out the details for the land.
- It's hoped that by fall, a director would be hired to create a master plan, and that the space would be easily accessible by the public within a year. [1]
