Our Partnerships Are Proof of Our Commitment
LADY BIRD JOHNSON WILDFLOWER CENTER
We’re working with environmental scientists from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center at the University of Texas on a major ecological restoration project to eradicate invasive species on selected areas of the property. In their place, you’ll find native Texas grasses and a profusion of wildflowers in late spring and early summer. This is a long-term effort and you’ll be able to monitor our progress by.
ROUND ROCK HONEY
Sustainability isn’t a word we take lightly, and our partnership with Round Rock Honey is an example of Newland’s commitment to long term environmental responsibility of our land, our families and our community. Founded in 2002, Round Rock Honey is a locally owned and operated business that is dedicated to saving the disappearing honeybee population and providing Austin area families with some very sweet rewards. Sweetwater’s honeybees work hard to keep our wildflowers blooming, our gardens blossoming and our land thriving for years to come.
AUSTIN PETS ALIVE!
Austin Pets Alive! works with local shelters to pull animals directly from euthanasia lists and invests whatever resources necessary to rehabilitate them so they are more easily adopted by Austin families. Newland Communities is proud to support such an amazing organization and Sweetwater is now home to some of the same pets that once occupied the APA shelters thanks to partnered adoption drives and other events that enable our builder partners, residents and local community members to get involved and add to the more than 25,000 animals APA has saved since their inception in 2008.
CHILDREN IN NATURE COLLABORATIVE OF AUSTIN
Sweetwater is proud to support the Children in Nature Collaborative of Austin, CiNCA, who was born out of the concern for the growing disconnect between our children in their natural surroundings. The partnership will develop programs and activities to encourage Sweetwater families to spend more time outdoors.
