Texas Parks At Risks January 25, 2007
Austin, Texas
On Thursday, January 25, Environment Texas will host an activist happy hour. At the event a short (7-8 minute) documentary will be shown. Narrated by two-time Oscar nominee and Texas native Ethan Hawke, "Texas Parks at Risk" reveals a magnificent parks system beleaguered by budget cuts, lay-offs, dilapidated infrastructure, and proposals to sell or close as many as 18
parks. After the screening, Environment Texas staff will discuss plans to get the Texas Legislature to Save Texas Parks.
Houston Event: 7 PM, Café Brasil/Domy Books at 1709 Westheimer. For more information, contact Colin McKellips at 512-479-9804.
The film is possible thanks to generous grants from the Magnolia Charitable Trust and the Jacob and Terese Hershey Foundation.
