This land stewardship planning guide was made in partnership with the Great Hills Park Committee, Austin Parks Foundation (APF), the City of Austin’s Parks & Recreation Department (PARD), the City of Austin’s Watershed Protection Department (WPD), and the Austin Fire Department. The items outlined in this plan provide guidance for long-term stewardship of and community engagement at Great Hills Neighborhood Park.
The land stewardship initiative is housed in the PARD PARKnerships program which coordinates the efforts of partners and volunteers to enhance Austin’s parks and help grow a sense of community and stewardship. Through the PARKnerships program, community members and business partners can adopt their park, participate in volunteer days, propose enhancements at their local park, donate resources, and assist with land stewardship plan conception and implementation.
