Martin Marietta was the only corporate contributor to a fundraising effort for the expansion of the Government Canyon State Natural Area near San Antonio, Texas. This natural area sits above the Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio's sole source of drinking water and is home to endangered wildlife species and well-preserved dinosaur tracks. The acres acquired with the Company's contribution will become part of one of the largest urban parks in the nation. The park provides San Antonians with recreational facilities and ensures that this sensitive land is forever protected from development, paying environmental dividends for countless future generations.

The parkland contribution was a primary reason the National Stone Association awarded Martin Marietta Materials with its "Good Neighbors Silver Medallion for Outstanding Achievement in Community Relations."

"This area will provide San Antonians with outdoor opportunities they have never had before. Martin Marietta's contribution is helping us put this land to the best use possible." - Bonnie Connor, San Antonio City Councilwoman.
