Welcome to Austin Community Landfill’s certified Wildlife Habitat Park, which includes a butterfly and bee garden designed to improve wildlife habitat and raise environmental awareness.
WM worked with neighbors, Travis County Audubon Society and Texas Bee Watches to build the butterfly and bee gardens. Click here for an article about bee gardens in the Fall 2011 Wildflower magazine of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and the terrific volunteers who have worked with us at the Austin Community Landfill.
Previously, WM developed a 30-acre park off of Springdale Road that included a two-mile walking trail that passed through a Texas wildflower meadow of big bluestem, Texas cupgrass and purple prairie clover. Unfortunately, WM had to close the park due to unauthorized camping, use of motor bikes on the property, vandalism and illegal dumping.
