    Networking Event to Follow

    The Faust
    240 S. Seguin Ave.
    New Braunfels, TX 78130
    Begins at 5:00 pm


    About the Tour:


    The Headwaters at the Comal is undergoing the grand metamorphosis from a 16-acre industrial utility site into a premier education center inspiring hearts and minds on the importance of conservation to community.  The project is a legacy for the Texas Hill Country and represents a strong partnership between New Braunfels Utilities, the Headwaters at the Comal non-profit, and the community.

    The approximately quarter mile tour along decomposed granite paths will wind through the restored savanna prairie, overlook the historic cistern protecting the headwater springs of the Comal River and along the improved riparian path of Comal spring run #4 and Blieders Creek.  


    Tour will end at the covered pavilion which was repurposed in phase I.  Hear about the efforts to use Low Impact Development principles, One Water practices and adaptive re-use to transform the rest of this unused warehouse and facilities property into a nature-oriented premier education center for the region. 

    About the Tour Guide:

    Nancy Pappas is the Managing Director of the Headwaters at the Comal, a non-profit organization, located in New Braunfels, Texas. She is currently an elected member of the Comal Appraisal Board and has recently joined the Go Green Initiative Board of Directors. She is also a Texas Water Leaders Graduate and a champion for regional One Water efforts.

    Prior to the Headwaters project, Nancy was the owner of a non-profit consulting group working for organizations focused primarily on creating healthier communities. In that capacity she was on the inaugural governing board for Resolute Health Hospital. She is the immediate past president of the Comal Trails Alliance, an effort working to connect communities through active transportation networks.
