Action Alert: Take the TPWD Survey

Tuesday, 16 August 2011

It's time to show your support of Texas State Parks.

The Recreation Grants Branch at Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is conducting a survey of Texas citizens. Please show your support by responding.

Two great reasons to take the survey:

TPWD, always on the Texas Legislative chopping block, had a particularly rough time this past session. Your support through this questionnaire shows that Texans highly value their State Parks.

TPWD receives federal Recreational Trail Program funding through TxDOT, who has cut Rec Trails in the past as part of other painful decisions in federal recission requests.  In response to feedback from BikeTexas regarding previous cuts to Recreational Trails Program funding, TxDOT invited BikeTexas to sit on the TxDOT Stakeholder Committee on Rescissions. After input from BikeTexas at the very first meeting in May 2011, the stakeholder committee chose to save all of the $3 million in Recreational Trail funds. Your support of TPWD does much to strengthen BikeTexas' hand at these meetings.
