Conservation in the Hill Country
The Hill Country, “sweet spot of Texas,” is in danger of being loved to death, or so it seems. The good news is that all the growth and development has triggered some serious conservation efforts. Folks are joining forces to protect the lands and waters of this extraordinary region—families have been partnering with land trusts to save their legacies; citizens have been creating parks, greenways, trails, natural areas, wildlife refuges, and nature centers, thoughtful stewardship is helping damaged lands recover; a network of conservationists has been hard at work; and Texas voters have been supporting conservation measures. Featuring photography by John Freud and a compelling narrative by longtime conservationist Brent Evans, this unique book on the Texas Hill Country includes inspiring images of conserved land, provides a history of conservation efforts, and highlights the contributions of regional land trusts, county programs, community projects, a community-based nature center and farm, and private landowners. With a goal of celebrating and inspiring grass-roots conservation, Freud and Evans showcase, through words and imagery, places that have been cared for and preserved by a generation of local landowners, local governments, and local nonprofits. As Evans writes in the preface, “the Hill Country is saving some of itself, and this is our story.” As a record of the many conservation efforts in the Texas Hill Country, Replenishing Our Hills serves as an invaluable and inspiring resource for those new or familiar to land stewardship. |

Photography
"I am am artist who appreciates traditional compositions, rich color and unique spaces.
Having spent the vast majority of my life as an educator , the camera would be a natural tool as I considered analyzing reality around me. Growing up on the high plains in Montana the vast sky pierced by a variety of mountain peaks dotting the horizon led me to worship the light. Most of the events of my youth were recorded by cheap plastic cameras. For a long period of my early years as an elementary school teacher, the camera was in a drawer somewhere. It was only while teaching on the island of Sicily in the early 60s. that I again treasured what was being captured, recording places and people entirely foreign to me. Once the PhD was in hand and the college classroom was filled with inquisitive minds , art historical data needed to be recorded and replayed, reviewed, sharing the place and time. Here again the camera was priceless. Family and friends began commenting on the artistic nature found in some of the slides. In the opening years of this century, this was reinforced by Professor Weller at Texas State University, so under his encouragement I began to seek out the artistic qualities found in the world around me. After finding the results of two one-man shows satisfying, I joined the New Braunfels Art League and the Carriage House Gallery where my work can be found today. |
