Program areas at SOS
In 2022 SOS Alliance continued its advocacy, education, and permanent protection work to protect the land, water, wildlife and natural and cultural heritage of Central Texas. Our small staff of legal and policy advocates and educators, working with leading area scientists and experts worked to keep our streams and springs clean and flowing, and to protect our vulnerable water resources and endangered species habitats from highway expansion projects, pumping projects, and proposed municipal wastewater discharges, among other threats. We defended the Save Our Springs Ordinance and supported local policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the increased flooding, erosion, drought, and heat that comes with global warming. In 2022 we also worked to improve and expand our Barton Springs University (BSU) water education programs to reach more high school and college students and new citizens across the region. These programs include Barton Springs 101 presentations in schools, snorkel tours of Barton Springs and Barton Creek, and hikes on the greenbelt. In 2022 we also commissioned research on urban and parkland rewilding, protecting Hill Country streams from nutrient pollution, protecting endemic Central Texas aquatic salamanders, and legal actions to protect endangered species, water quality, and public parklands.
