Save Barton Creek Association

Join the Save Barton Creek Association and the Austin Environmental Community in welcoming the newly inaugurated Austin City Council this Thursday evening. In this time of economic and environmental crisis, we have an opportunity to reshape our future, now. Our community is coming together to make Austin a model of a sustainable city, and we want our elected officials to be leaders in this effort. Help chart a new direction for a sustainable future in Austin at the Eco-Change Exchange.

SBCA is proud to report that our own Shudde Fath won the 2009 Liveable City Liveable Vision award in the category of Environment. Shudde was a founding member of of the Association in 1979 and has served as our treasurer ever since. During her speech to the assembled audience, she received multiple standing ovations. Congratulations, Shudde!

Liveable City's writeup:

Environment: Shudde Fath with the Save Barton Creek Association. In tireless efforts spanning 27 years (sic - actually it's 30!), these environmental champions have worked to protect that which sustains us all - the six watersheds of the Barton Springs and the Edwards Aquifer.
