SMRF annouces Wassenich's retirement

After three decades working with the San Marcos River Foundation, Dianne Wassenich is retiring from the organization. 

Wassenich, the SMRF Executive Director, began advocating for better treatment of the river in the early 1980s. 

“With an eye on rapidly growing cities in the region and a real threat of aquifer depletion, her early work and efforts resulted in water conservation ordinances not just locally but regionally that afford real protection to the Edwards Aquifer and its watersheds,” the SMRF wrote in a press release. “Dianne has also been instrumental in encouraging citizens to embrace native planting and restoring areas to more natural states.”
