Bastrop State Park Rains, Texas Parks and Wildlife [Official]

Bastrop State Park Rains. An update on the conditions at the park after heavy rains and flooding on January 26, 2012. Lots of erosion and work to be done. AmeriCorps workers cleaning out clogged culverts, building wind rows, and doing some great work. Yes, you can still got camping and hiking in some areas of the park. It’s a good idea to call the park (512-321-2101) or check the website (www.tpwd.state.tx.us) before you visit. FriendsOfLostPines.org AmeriCorps.gov AmericanYouthWorks.org

    This is their chance to establish a good groundcover of native grasses necessary for carrying cool ground-fires later when the pines are replanted. Hopefully TPWD and TFS will jump on this opportunity to restore the pines as they originally were, a savanna with an open, grassy understory, and to stay on top of fuel loads from the very get-go by burning frequently.
