City of Austin Wildland Conservation Division

City of Austin Wildlands are areas of land undisturbed for purposes of agriculture, urban, or industrial use that provide a valuable ecosystem function. They provide benefits to our entire community. They are not parks, but rather public lands held in trust for a specific purpose based on the mission of the program under which they are managed. Those managed under the Division's Balcones Canyonlands Preserve (BCP) Program conserve habitat for eight endangered species and 27 species of concern. Those managed under the Division's Water Quality Protection Lands (WQPL) Program optimize the quantity and quality of water recharging the Barton Spring segment of the Edwards Aquifer.
