Book excerpt: Nancy Fuentes In the fourteen years since the last edition of this book, the Austin Sierra Club has led several hard political battles to preserve the outdoor treasures of the area. This guide will help Central Texans and visitors enjoy the fruits of those efforts in accord with the Sierra Club philosophy: "to explore, enjoy, and protect the nation's forests, waters, wildlife, and wilderness." In this easy-to-use guide, the Austin Sierra Club invites those who love good, clean, earth-friendly fun and healthful exercise to explore the wonders of Central Texas from the Highland Lakes in the north to New Braunfels in the south. Suggestions for outdoor adventure in city and countryside alike feature activities and places to visit in a hundred-mile radius of Austin. The chapters are organized by type of activity: downtown area sights and sounds; parks; active sports such as running, camping, and rock climbing; water sports; air sports; wildlife and pets; nature activities such as star gazing, fossil hunting, and wildflower study; activities for people with special needs; and must-see places such as historic buildings and great vistas. The book also includes several fact-filled appendixes, with information on the Sierra Club, helpful agencies and telephone numbers, and maps. This new edition of Outdoors Austin was written and produced by a committee of volunteers. It reflects their love for the many outdoor resources around Austin and their hope that others will come to love and respect the natural treasures of this unique and privileged land.

Download or read book My Stories All True written by Pamela A. LeBlanc and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. David Bamberger has been profiled in the New York Times and the New Yorker, interviewed on NPR, and featured in a National Geographic video. He and his Texas Hill Country ranch have been the subject of many articles and two books published by Texas A&M University Press. In My Stories, All True, Bamberger, now in his nineties, tells the story of his life as an entrepreneur and conservationist in his own way. He recounts to journalist and friend Pamela LeBlanc how he made a living as a vacuum cleaner salesman, struck it rich as a partner in a wildly successful chain of fried chicken restaurants, and bought, then brought back to life, the “sorriest piece of land” in Blanco County, Texas—the rural oasis he calls Selah, Bamberger Ranch Preserve. For more than a year, Bamberger and LeBlanc roamed the preserve—five thousand acres nursed back to environmental health with money earned from the sale of Church’s Chicken—as Bamberger reminisced about losing his father in a steel factory accident; gathering mushrooms to sell to neighbors when he was a kid; making a living as a door-to-door salesman; running a multimillion-dollar restaurant business; rubbing shoulders with the likes of Sam Walton, Jane Goodall, and Lady Bird Johnson; and, finally, turning to his land for the work that has earned national acclaim. With a storyteller’s flair and insightful commentary from LeBlanc, Bamberger shares the tales of a remarkable life—as a resourceful country boy, a savvy entrepreneur, and a consummate conservationist whose vision has set the standard for the restoration of nature on private lands worldwide.
