Description
The Trail Foundation's mission is to protect and enhance the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake. Since their formation in 2003 as a 501(c)(3), they have fulfilled their mission through careful improvements to the Trail’s infrastructure and environment, while honoring the original vision of the Trail’s founders. In 2003, they formed the Town Lake Trail Foundation to continue the work of the Citizen’s Committee and ensure that the heart of Austin stays strong. In 2008, inspired by the renaming of the lake, they adopted the name The Trail Foundation.

Program areas at TTF

In 2023, the Organization continued into its second full year of the Park Operations and Maintenance Agreement with the City of Austin. Significant ecological restoration work was complete Trail-wide, including shoreline restoration and stabilization, urban forestry expansion, significant invasive species removal, and wildflower meadow seeding. In addition, the Organization hosted 75 volunteer events totaling 3,852 volunteers, established 8,790 plants, collected 18,308 pounds of trash, and spread 485 cubic yards of mulch to protect mature trees along the trail. Regular programming events that are free and open to the public continued to expand to include monthly fitness series, heritage celebrations, weekly music and cultural events, educational programs, and expanded partner programming in collaboration with other Austin are and educational institutions.
The Organization worked on the following capital projects during 2023: the Butler Shores Exercise Equipment project was officially opened in 2023, and other projects progressed through advanced design development and community engagement including the Holly Project and Comprehensive Signage Plan. The Rainey Street Trailhead project broke ground with the expectation of opening in summer 2024. The Trail-wide Arts and Culture Plan was also finalized and adopted.
