One of the clearest-flowing streams in the Texas Hill Country is under threat from the Urbanczyk family’s (aka Silesia Properties) plans to build a D.R. Horton Homes subdivision of 2,396 new homes on the 592 acre Honey Creek Ranch just outside of Bulverde, Texas.  Polluted storm and wastewater from this high-density subdivision will flow into Honey Creek upstream of Honey Creek State Natural Area and Guadalupe River State Park.  Also threatened is Honey Creek Cave, the longest cave in Texas and a direct conduit to the Edwards Aquifer and nearby drinking water supply wells.

Both the Honey Creek State Natural Area and the Guadalupe River State Park are Texas taxpayers’ investments and serve as recreational destinations and as sanctuaries for native aquatic species. Building six homes per acre on the Honey Creek Ranch will degrade the water and the surrounding parks that bring considerable value to local residents and visitors, both in economic and recreational opportunities.  In time, the water flowing through Guadalupe River State Park could become unsafe for swimming and contact recreation.

Sadly, if done right, the Honey Creek Ranch subdivision could be a model of sustainable development.  Efforts to work with the Urbanczyk’s representatives have thus far proven futile.  We need your help to mount a campaign to make sure that one land flipping family does not despoil a treasured Texas ecosystem.  Please sign this petition to protect Honey Creek and Guadalupe River State Park.
