The Conservation Society of San Antonio (legally incorporated as the San Antonio Conservation Society) is located in the Bexar County city of San Antonio in the U.S. state of Texas. Founding members were Emily Edwards, who became the organization's first president, and Rena Maverick Green. The organization was formed on March 22, 1924, and officially incorporated on July 8, 1925.[1] The Society is currently headquartered in the Anton Wulff House, which they saved from destruction in 1974.[2] The home was built 1869–1870 by German immigrant Anton Wulff, who became the city's first Park Commissioner.[3]
