Up to 65 acres of pristine woodlands, where Native Americans and bison once roamed, will be preserved as an urban forest on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word.
The land, which boasts the largest Texas mountain laurel tree in the country, will be a spiritual and natural sanctuary likely dubbed Headwaters because it includes the beginning of the San Antonio River, the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word said Friday.
A committee of sisters, university leaders and community members has been meeting for four years, working out the details for the land.
It's hoped that by fall, a director would be hired to create a master plan, and that the space would be easily accessible by the public within a year. [1] --JFreeman19:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I actually went over in that area last month looking for these springs. Granted, I'm not exactly Davie Crokett with a compass, but this place is tough to find. I plan on giving it another go eventually, as soon as all this dang rain stops. --Brownings14:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I took photos today, and I'm in the process of uploading them now. I should get them added within a few minutes. The water was really high today. With recent rains and the Edwards Aquifer only 4 feet below record levels, the water was rushing out of numerous spots in the banks. Hope everyone enjoys! --Brownings06:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
