Canyon

Kids from Perez Elementary in Austin encounter themselves in the outdoors.

Echo Valley 2020 Campaign offers fitting, lasting memorial honoring Bob Ayres.

Texas Parks and Wildlife named the H. E. Butt Foundation as a winner of the 2019 Lone Star Land Steward Award, celebrating private landowners’ accomplishments in habitat management and wildlife conservation.

Echo Valley’s resident trilingual maintenance expert—and former university biochemistry instructor—mostly just loves Jesus and people.

Since 2015, Texas Parks and Wildlife biologist Bill Armstrong has led formal prescribed burns every year.

Garven Store is a staple among camp road trips—and has been since the day when the Butt family first set eyes on the Canyon.

In 2014, David and Deborah Rogers said, “Fifty years from now, we want the Foundation camp property to be even healthier and more beautiful than it is today.” Three years later, the Property Planning & Stewardship team completed its first-ever comprehensive Land Stewardship Plan to support diverse, balanced, robust, and native animal and plant life in the Frio River Canyon.

In 2012, San Antonio had the highest rate of socio-economic segregation in the country.

The Foundation has long been committed to caring for the Canyon. Today, David and Deborah Rogers are leading initiatives to ensure that the Canyon flourishes—that its environmental health is strengthened—in years to come.
