Although the Greenbelt is central to Austin's identity as a park city, the fascinating story of how it was preserved has largely faded from public memory. Foreverland highlights the grit and determination of the visionaries who navigated the complex civic process during a politically charged period in the 1990s to preserve an unparalleled nature experience for the people of Austin. Their efforts culminated in one of the most ambitious public land acquisitions in the city's history, helping to safeguard the fragile ecosystem and water quality in the Barton Creek watershed.
