City of Austin Wildlife Habitat Challenge

As some of you probably remember from our June meeting, Travis Heights is officially part of the City of Austin Wildlife Habitat Challenge.  Many of our residents have been working hard since April to turn their yards into wildlife habitats – we couldn’t be happier about their efforts and what they are doing for the wildlife in our neighborhood.

We have until November to register as many yards in Travis Heights to win the competition. Please see the details below and consider joining in the competition!
