H.C.R. No. 18
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The striking beauty and variety of the Texas
landscape is aptly showcased in our system of state parks, and these
irreplaceable public spaces are among the state's most compelling
attractions for tourists and residents alike; and
WHEREAS, The year 2005 marks the 70th anniversary of Tyler
State Park and offers an apt opportunity to reflect on the park's
importance to generations of Texans; and
WHEREAS, First developed by members of the Civilian
Conservation Corps during the Great Depression, the park has served
for years as an inviting retreat for many, and the ongoing
renovation and restoration of the park only continues to enhance
its appeal; and
WHEREAS, Among the park's most distinctive features are the
hand-hewn rock walls and other structures designed to prevent soil
erosion, labor-intensive undertakings that the park workers
created and completed by hand; and
WHEREAS, The countless visitors who enjoy Tyler State Park
yearly are indebted both to the laborers who originally created the
park and to the contemporary caretakers of the park's legacy, and
the park's popularity is eloquent tribute to the value of the
worthwhile work of these dedicated individuals; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the 79th Legislature of the State of Texas,
2nd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 70th anniversary of
Tyler State Park and extend to all those associated with the park
sincere appreciation and gratitude for their efforts to preserve
this essential public resource.
