SAVING THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY

SAVING THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
Above, Autumn Woods is a 132-acre property along Little Bear Creek in Manchaca at the north eastern edge of Hays County. The natural honeycomb-shaped bedrock here provides high quality recharge to the Edwards Aquifer. In 2006 a conservation easement was created through the donation of the development rights by Rocky and Kelly Romano and Robert McDonald. This voluntary land preservation agreement with the Hill Country Conservancy ensures the natural character of the land and the rural heritage of Manchaca residents are preserved, forever.
