Times of India · environment

Billie Eilish's $20,000 donation, part of her Changemaker Ticket Program, has funded the creation of a 6,000-square-foot native woodland in Austin's Zilker Park. The project, which planted 150 native trees in March 2026, now reports an 85% survival rate. This new grove is actively filtering stormwater runoff before it reaches Barton Creek, contributing to water quality and aquifer recharge. The initiative, supported by the nonprofit REVERB, aims to restore native ecosystems and mitigate environmental challenges.
