The Daytripper has partnered with The Nature Conservancy in Texas on a journey across the Lone Star State. From coastal shores to the rugged West, meet the people helping to protect over 1 million acres of diverse Texas lands—rich with native plants, unexpected springs and extraordinary animals. Discover how conservation preserves these stunning, rapidly changing landscapes for generations ahead.
Part 3 of 3 - Fresh Water
Every Texan knows the magic of diving into a cool swimming hole, reeling in a big one on the lake, tubing down the river, running through sprinklers, or just turning on the tap. Water is more than ritual and recreation—it's our most valuable resource. Our lives and millions of animals depend on it. So how do we celebrate our freshwater while protecting it? I'm on a mission to find out.
