The Trail Foundation is Now The Trail Conservancy

The Trail Foundation is now
The Trail Conservancy.

A new name. A broader mission. A deeper commitment.

For the past 20 years, we’ve been known as The Trail Foundation. The organization is dedicated to making the Ann & Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail a welcoming place for all. So, why would we change who we are now?

We aren’t. We’re just changing our name to better describe who we’ve been all along.

We’re still the same passionate people working every day to maintain, enhance and expand the Butler Trail. And it turns out that “foundation” didn’t accurately reflect our mission — we are a conservancy.

As we usher in this new era as The Trail Conservancy, we’re doubling down on our commitment to the Trail and the community. We are taking on a more significant role as primary stewards of Town Lake Metropolitan Park, ensuring that it remains a place where all of Austin feels welcome and included.

Join us Saturday on the Trail to celebrate.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...

Keeping Up with ATX local and Real Estate Broker George Vance McGee....

So GVM, how are you feeling these days? What is the married, family man, new dad lifestyle? Thanks for asking. Believe it or not, despite my youthful glow and aura, I'm now "over the hill" at 42 years of age. Physically I still feel pretty darn good. I try to cycle often on the hike and bike trail of lady bird lake. I've even bought a bicycle rack for my 2010 Nissan Rogue SUV. As a Real Estate Industry person, I apologize if my lack of a Range Rover or Mercedes Benz car ownership doesn't suffice. In regards to health, being a newborn dad will really sober you up. Coffee has long since replaced booze in my blood system. When you routinely wake up circa 7:00 am to hug your baby daughter, change her diaper, feed her, have playtime and then drive her to daycare/preschool you need to feel healthy, rested and alert. 1 thing I do miss as a responsible married family man, is the carefree, outgoing, live music and bar hopping nightlife of Austin, Texas. Let's be hone...
