Our Mission statement:
The Save Barton Creek Association protects and conserves the flora, fauna and water quality of Barton Creek and the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer, a sole-source drinking water aquifer, through research, public education and land conservation.
About the Save Barton Creek Association:
Save Barton Creek Association is a nonprofit citizen group working to protect and conserve the six watersheds of the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer (Barton, Bear, Little Bear, Onion, Slaughter and Williamson). SBCA incorporated in September 1979 in response to community concerns about the impact of urbanization on Barton Creek and Barton Springs. SBCA has been one of the lead conservation organizations for more than twenty years working to ensure that future generations may enjoy the cool, clean waters of Barton Springs.
SBCA Trustees and Members have served on every task force addressing issues related to the Barton Springs Aquifer. We have helped write ordinances designed to protect the creeks and watersheds of the aquifer region. We provide funding and scientific expertise for public education opportunities such as the Splash! into the Edwards Aquifer Exhibit at the Beverly S. Sheffield Environmental Center in Zilker Park at the historic Barton Springs bathhouse. We offer free tours of the Barton Creek Greenbelt.
