What are we fighting for?

Our group was started to stop the destruction of 250 trees from the Hairy Man road historic tree canopy. These trees were to be destroyed by Williamson County in the name of “public safety”. However we also noticed that local governments continued to let more land developers move in and destroy the natural habitat along the Hairy Man road, Brushy Creek corridor. After drawing attention to the issue with a petition signed by around 20,000 people, we were able to work with the County Commissioner and lower that number down to 77 total trees. Along with lowering the number of trees, we were able to ensure those were trees of smaller size and were not in key areas of the iconic road’s canopy. The width of the road was also narrowed to ensure that it did not encroach upon the green spaces on either side more than it had to.

We have now become a conservation group dedicated to protecting this last remaining piece of historical and environmental treasure that is the Hairy Man/Brushy Creek corridor. As the development of our area continues, we strive to inform and educate the community on how they can be involved and let their voices be heard. We believe that the direction of how this area is developed should be driven by the people of the community, not the employees and politicians of our local government.

This historic road has been a part of Round Rock History for over 100 years. The iconic tree canopy and it’s natural habitats and eco systems will be destroyed if we do not act quickly. This area is also home to the endangered Jollyville Salamander and multiple natural springs that are part of the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. We want to ensure that the coming generations are able to enjoy it’s beauty.
