Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Executive Director Dr. David Yoskowitz expressed gratitude for the vision and support provided by Gov. Greg Abbott during a keynote address celebrating 100 years of Texas State Parks. 

Governor Abbott provided the keynote address recently at the Texas State Parks Centennial Celebration at the Bullock Texas State History Museum’s The Art of Texas State Parks exhibit in Austin, where he cited the economic impact of Texas State Parks on local communities and highlighted the conservation efforts made by TPWD. 

“On behalf of our hardworking Texas State Parks staff and TPWD in general, I want to thank Governor Abbott for his support for conserving state lands for future recreational use,” Yoskowitz said. “Supported largely by the funding allocated to our agency by the Texas Legislature through Proposition 5 in 2019, TPWD has an ambitious plan to bring new parks online for public enjoyment over the next decade. Governor Abbott’s elegant endorsement of our work provides fresh inspiration for expanding access to the natural wonders throughout our state.”
