The BCNWR is managed by the USFWS and consists of more than 25,000 acres. Endangered species include the Golden-cheeked Warbler and Black-capped Video. Project completed in the late 1990s while working with J. Robert Anderson, FASLA and the USFWS.

The first project included developing a plan for the new Shin Oak Bird Observation Deck structure, parking, and access. We designed the deck using a vernacular design that incorporated limestone and mountain cedars to help the deck blend in with the surrounding endangered species habitat. The second project developed a 3.7 mile interpertive trail, education areas, a low-impact parking area, and entry gate for Doeskin Ranch natural area. We continued the vernacular limestone and mountain cedar theme.
