BARTON SPRINGS CONSERVANCY

Barton Springs Conservancy was formed in 2014 to work with key Barton Springs stakeholders to identify and support projects to benefit Barton Springs. Initial efforts focused on establishing fundraising capacity and providing community input to complete the Barton Springs Bathhouse Rehabilitation project called for in the 2008 Barton Springs Master Plan and partially funded by the 2012 Bond Package... And of course, we are especially grateful to our community supporters and donors who contributed generously to help raise $3,384,000 in private funds to help restore this historical and architectural treasure that (1) connects us to our past, (2) literally gathers us together as a community, and (3) helps tell the story of our environmental, cultural and historical values. In addition to the Moody Foundation which donated over $2 million to the project, we are especially grateful to Austin Parks Foundation, Kyndel and Laura Bennett, Genny Duncan, Luci Johnson and the LBJ Family..
