The Cibolo Nature Education Programs

The Cibolo Nature Education Programs include hiking trails, nature education, and hands-on programs in gardening, water quality, and wildlife study. Families can walk wooded trails, wander along the banks of Cibolo Creek, and visit the farmers market as part of the overall experience. The programs take place across two campuses that include five unique ecosystems and protect crucial Hill Country flora and fauna.
