An incredible victory for wildlife and all Texans who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors,” Environment Texas Executive Director Luke Metzger said. Metzger and his team believe the Centennial Parks Conservation Fund couldn’t come at a better time.

AUSTIN, Texas — “An incredible victory for wildlife and all Texans who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors,” Environment Texas Executive Director Luke Metzger said.“State parks, for a long time, have been running on a shoestring operation and basically had just enough to keep it afloat,” he said.

“According to a Texas Tech study, we need to add more than a million acres of state parks by 2030 in order to keep up with public demand for recreation, and we’ve barely scratched the surface of that need,” Metzger said. State Sen. Tan Parker, R-Flower Mound, spearheaded the legislation to handle those demands, and now the state awaits the November ballot item to make the fund official.
