In El Paso, a land transfer from El Paso Water to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department shows how partnerships can protect natural resources while expanding public access.

This long-standing partnership between El Paso Water and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department continued to grow on May 14, when El Paso Water transferred an additional 1,054 acres to TPWD, expanding the eastern boundary of Franklin Mountains State Park.

The move also reflects years of planning and stewardship by El Paso Water.
