water from the Edwards Aquifer. Research indicates that removal of Ashe
juniper results in a tremendous increase in groundwater. One such study
reported an increase of 100,000 gal/acre/year with 100% cedar removal.

Selah ranch near Johnson City has a teaching program where they show
what they did. After clearing most of the junipers, the grasses returned
and springs that had been dry for years, started flowing again.

I remember reading a bit about this place. Pretty amazing. Restoring the
springs and the creek are huge, as is the habitat diversity. Thanks.
