• The Billie Eilish Grove, detailed by Chron and Zilker 351, was planted in March 2026 and is already helping slow and filter stormwater before it reaches Barton Creek.
• The 6,000-square-foot grove sits along a walking trail south of Barton Springs Pool, within the recharge zone of the Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer.
