With the severe state budget cutbacks to the park department, plus income shortfalls due to reduced visitation in the State Parks because of record high heat, extreme drought, and fires, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department needs help to restore and maintain our great parks.
If you would like to help, it can be as easy and fun as simply visiting a park, or to learn how you can help the Texas State Parks, please visit: http://bit.ly/sVdilb
