Our Purpose Runs Deep

The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.

✅ Native ...plants that thrive with less 💚
❌ Pouring water down the drain
✅ Recycling leftover water for plants
❌ Tossing scraps in the trash
✅ Giving food scraps a second life ♻️

It’s not about doing everything perfectly—it’s about choosing better where we can. And hey, your yard (and the aquifer) will be better for it!
