WELCOME from Brent Leisure, State Parks Director Visitors, the future looks bright – exceedingly bright! Texas has passed breakthrough legislation to put more dedicated funding into your state parks. In the short term, most of the new funding will be used for much-needed capital repairs and improvements. It will also go toward grants to build or improve city and county park systems. Other planned improvements include modernized utilities, renovated historic sites and upgraded visitor centers. In the future, dedicated funding will allow for continued maintenance, more visitor programs, greater availability of staff and new state parks to meet the needs of our rapidly growing state. Our brighter future wouldn’t be possible without the vision of the Texas Legislature, as well as the visitors, volunteers, friends groups, communities, industry professionals and corporate partners who contributed support along the way. To you we extend our deepest thanks and appreciation.

  • LONE STAR STATE Stargazing
    LONE STAR STATE Stargazing IndependenceTitle.com Keep Your Eyes to the Sky! These are some of the best places to stargaze in Texas Big Bend National Park Big Bend National Park is not only Texas’s most famous park— it is also known as one of the most outstanding places in North America for star gazing. Thanks to the sparse human occupation of this region, it has the least light pollution of any other National Park unit in the lower 48 states. This can be a real surprise to visitors when they are outside in Big Bend at night and see the Milky Way in its full glory for perhaps the first time in their life. Needless to say, you can stargaze just about anywhere in Big Bend, but there are a few spots you might want to consider. If you’re an admirer of astronomy, bring your telescope to the Marathon Sky Park. You can also see the stars from the stargazing platform atop Eve’s Garden Bed and Breakfast in Marathon. Brazos Bend State Park Located an hour outside of Houston, Brazos Bend State Park is a great place for any astronomical enthusiast. Not only is it far removed from the light pollution of the Lone Star State’s biggest city, it’s home to the George Observatory, where visitors can view planetary objects up close and personal. LONE STAR STATE Caprock Canyons State Park Home to the only wild bison herd in the state of Texas, Caprock Canyon State Park in the Texas panhandle has stunning views of constellations.

Nichols and Andrew P. Goldbloom Under the Direction of James A. Deloney November, 1989 Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division Texas Parks and Wildlife Department 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas 78744 (512) 389-4900 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Conducting a mail survey requires accuracy and timeliness in every single task. Each individualized survey had to be accounted for, both going out and coming back. Each mailing had to meet a strict deadline. The authors are indebted to all the people who worked on this project. The staff of the Comprehensive Planning Branch, Parks Division, deserve special thanks. This dedicated crew signed letters, mailed, remailed, coded, and entered the data of a twenty-page questionnaire that was sent to over twenty-five thousand Texans with over twelve thousand returned completed. Many other Parks Division staff outside the branch volunteered to assist with stuffing and labeling thousands of envelopes as deadlines drew near. We thank the staff of the Information Services Section for their cooperation in providing individualized letters and labels for survey mailings. We also appreciate the dedication of the staff in the mailroom for processing up­ wards of seventy-five thousand pieces of mail. Lastly, we thank the staff in the print shop for their courteous assistance in reproducing the various documents. Although the above are gratefully acknowledged, they are absolved from any responsibility for any errors or omissions that may have occurred. ii TEXANS OUTDOORS: AN ANALYSIS OF 1985 PARTICIPATION IN OUTDOOR RECREATION ACTIVITIES TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ...........................................................................................................

All the projects are aimed at providing a higher quality visit for state park visitors. Engaging volunteer labor to provide a match for the requested funds is one criteria of the competitive grant. “Projects that make the outdoors a better place to be is a priority for us,” said Adelaide Leavens, president of Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation in Fort Worth. “We’re pleased to support these outstanding projects at state parks across Texas, and we’re thrilled to see these dollars leveraged by Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and fueled by volunteer support.” The projects that are funded in the 2016 grant cycle are: STATE PARK COUNTY PROJECT AMOUNT Blanco Blanco Wildlife viewing station $5,000 Brazos Bend Fort Bend Monarch butterfly project $2,500 Cleburne Johnson Fish habitat enhancement
