Description: This educational film from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) describes the park planning process necessary for creating a new state park in Texas. The film examines the need for natural resource conservation, recreational needs for visitors, and the many stages of planning undertaken by the TPWD planning team, engineers, conservationists, biologists, and geologists. Using the planning and construction Master Plan booklet from the Hueco Tanks State Park, we see a park begin as rural land and end as a completed recreational resource for public use!
