Presidio, northwest of Big Bend National Park, will get dedicated green spaces along bike lanes and pedestrian streets, plant thousands of native trees and establish a high-school run air quality monitoring program.

Texas reported more than 15,000 new cases Tuesday, smashing the previous single-day record. The county borders Ojinagao, Mexico, and the only hospital in rural Alpine has just enough beds to treat only a handful of COVID-19 patients. Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara said that one in 13 people in the West Texas county have contracted COVID-19. On Monday, Guevara urged residents to shelter in place and avoid nonessential travel given the “alarming" hike in cases. She said no virus patients had died at the hospital within the last two weeks.

Texas Parks and Wildlife reported that a hiker was rescued Friday after getting lost at Big Bend Ranch State Park without food or water in 106-degree heat. A hiker at the 300,000-acre Big Bend Ranch State Park got lost on the trail. The next morning, another park police officer was informed about a possible lost hiker, Texas Parks and Wildlife officials said in a statement. An additional game warden, two state park rangers, a U.S. Border Patrol agent and a Presidio County Sheriffs Deputy were able to help the hiker climb back over the pour-offs, officials said.
