The Blackland Prairie Concerned Citizens Association (BPCCA) is composed of the following communities: Carlson, Kimbro, Lund, Manda, New Sweden, Rosehill, and Schiller. BPCCA is a rural neighborhood association organized in 2000 to guide the change from farming communities to suburban rural living. We are officially organized, with a set of by-laws and a board of directors, with each community having a member on the board. Meetings are the second Monday of each even month. Other area neighborhood associations we work with: Park Springs, south of Manor; Coupland Civic Organization; GUARD at the Bastrop/Travis County Line at FM 969; Manor, Elgin and Pflugerville.

The Texas Blackland Prairie is endangered. According to American Farmland Trust, the Texas Blackland Prairie is the 4th most threatened region in the country. America currently loses more than one million acres of farm and ranch land each year to development. Texas loses more land to development than any other state in the country. Information provided by the Texas Cooperative Extension indicates that agribusiness represents a $4.26 billion impact on Travis County. The value generated from producing, processing and marketing food and fiber continues to play a dramatic role and it is important to recognize agribusiness as vital to the continued efficiency and economic growth in Travis County.

In Memory of David Samuelson (1928-2002)
