The Edwards Aquifer is more than a water source — it’s a living story that connects our past, present and future. It’s the reason settlers came to this area, and it’s the lifeblood of our growth. Our aquifer is a resource we can study and learn from. It’s an incredible wonder, and it’s why we’re here.

It’s Arbor Day, y’all — time to give a tree a hug (or at least a high five if that’s more your style)!🌳💙
Here at the Edwards Aquifer Authority, protecting the Edwards Aquifer and its surrounding ecosystem is what we’re all about — and Texas native trees are a key part of ...that mission. These local legends don’t just look good — they work hard, too! They help slow down stormwater runoff, reduce erosion, and let more water soak into the ground where it can recharge the aquifer. 🌧️➡️💧
Plus, they provide cool shade, create habitats for local wildlife, and give us the oxygen we breathe. 😌🐦🌿
So today, take a minute to look up, look around, and appreciate the trees around you. Bonus points if you spot a Texas redbud (Sarah’s fave!) — because who doesn’t love a tree that shows off and supports the planet? 🌸
