Robert Brandes, a Lake Travis property
owner, took part in the negotiations that surrounded the formation of the
Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan (BCCP): a program to coordinate federal,
state and local interests in the management of endangered species. During the
1990s, Brandes attended and regularly spoke at meetings of the Balcones
Canyonlands Conservation Plan Executive Steering Committee, asserting that the
rights of property owners like himself were being infringed by environmental
extremism and improper government regulation. He also testified at state and
federal legislative hearings, gave news interviews, and maintained a wide
correspondence on environmental and land management issues. In addition to
these activities, Robert Brandes sold and traded collectible Western belt
buckles and related memorabilia.

Correspondence, lecture and meeting
notes, interview transcripts, news clippings, legal reviews, scientific
reports, government documents and advocacy group publications (1987-1997, bulk
1992-1996) document the activities and reflect the interests of Travis County
landowner Robert Brandes in the formation of the Balcones Canyonlands
Conservation Plan, The Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, land
management policies for the Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Vireo under
the Endangered Species Act, and other environmental issues. The collection
includes annotated draft and final environmental impact statements for the
Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan and related initiatives, scientific and
legal reviews of those drafts, and reports by the City of Austin, Travis
County, state and federal agencies. Correspondence related to a Freedom of
Information Act request by Robert Brandes concerns land management practices at
the Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve near Austin. Notes taken at meetings of the
Balcones Canyonlands Conservation Plan Executive Steering Committee document
the progress of negotiations among environmentalists, landowners, developers,
regulators and other interest groups during the mid-1990s. The collection
includes items and correspondence relating to United States Secretary of the
Interior Bruce Babbitt (served 1993-2001), Austin Mayor Bruce Todd (served
1991-1997), San Antonio Mayor Nelson W. Wolff (served 1991-1995), the Nature
Conservancy of Texas, the Sierra Club of Texas, the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and the Lower
Colorado River Authority. The collection also includes correspondence with, and
advocacy publications by, property rights and land management groups such as
the National Wilderness Institute, The Texas Wildlife Association, The Society
for Range Management, the Texas Alliance for Property Rights and others.
