Recent Projects
Bull Creek District Park – Restoration Project
In partnership with the City of Austin Watershed Protection Department, Environmental Corps completed a restoration project at Bull Creek District Park. The project consisted mainly of installing erosion control devices to protect the roots of several large Live Oak trees and to catch sediment, followed by re-planting native vegetation that had been driven out by over-use. The resulting park is now much more sustainable and has contributed much better water quality in Bull Creek. For more information, visit the Bull Creek District Park Webpage at the City of Austin Parks and Recreation website.
San Antonio Missions National Historic Park – Historic Restoration
