|
meaningful by the fact that it coincides with the 100th |
 
|
anniversary of the Texas State Parks system; the agency has |
 
|
excelled at preserving the natural beauty of the state parks, |
 
|
which are visited by more than nine million people annually, as |
 
|
well as through its efforts to increase accessibility and to |
 
|
invite new audiences to enjoy the parks; and |
 
|
             WHEREAS, Texas' state parks system is a source of immense |
 
|
pride to the residents of the Lone Star State, and the |
 
|
outstanding reputation that it enjoys is further strengthened by |
 
|
its receipt of this prestigious national honor; now, therefore, |
 
|
be it |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th |
 
|
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby congratulate Texas State |
 
|
Parks on its receipt of the 2023 National Gold Medal Award for |

|
those affiliated with Texas State Parks for their contributions; |
 
|
and, be it further |
 
|
             RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be |
 
|
