What does The Trail Conservancy do?

The Trail Conservancy (TTC) is a non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas, focused on protecting, enhancing, and connecting the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake. Established in 2003, TTC serves as the primary steward of over 110 acres of natural areas along the trail, managing various ecological restoration projects and park maintenance activities. TTC offers volunteer opportunities for community engagement and hosts free public events, including fitness series, music, and educational programs. The organization also builds and maintains essential trail amenities such as restrooms, water stations, recreation areas, and gardens for the enjoyment of trail-goers, hikers, cyclists, and the general public. Through collaboration with local institutions, TTC enriches the cultural experience along the Butler Trail for residents and visitors alike.
