Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA) Workday
2026-05-07 09:00 - 11:30, 2026-05-21 09:00 - 11:30, 2026-06-04 09:00 - 11:30
Join us for BCCNA workdays!

The BCCNA project involves the restoration and enhancement of the Boerne City Campus Natural Area (BCCNA). The BCCNA is comprised of 13-acres on either side of the Old No. 9 Trail, behind the library. We are working towards restoring this area to a native pollinator habitat, creating a wildlife corridor and haven within the city.

BCCNA Workdays take place on the first and third Thursdays of each month.

Our meeting place will be in the Boerne Patrick Heath Public Library parking lot near the windmill. If you don’t see us at the windmill, walk out behind the library across the creek as we’ve likely already started!

Each volunteer will be required to fill out the City of Boerne’s liability waiver the first time he or she volunteers.

Contact Jeff Schwarz at jeffschwarz27@gmail.com for more info.

Annual Wildflower Walk
2026-05-23 08:00 - 10:00
Location: Phil Hardberger Park, 8400 NW Military Hwy, San Antonio, TX 78231

Our walks’s purpose is to identify and appreciate our area wildflowers in the context of also appreciating the beauty of our natural areas and learning about where and when our wildflowers grow and their relationship to insects.

Jerry Morrisey, a long-time plant identifier, propagator, and lover as well as a Texas Master Naturalist, from the Native Plant Society of Texas’s San Antonio chapter will lead us along the trails of PHP and through the Demonstration Garden identifying and discussing the plethora of wildflowers enjoying our Texas spring. Jerry will specifically discuss where native wildflowers will be present in the local ecology and their interactions with pollinators. Come learn with our accomplished local expert.

Please arrive by 7:50 am to sign up so we can begin promptly at 8:00 am. We will walk along several of the trails close to the UEC where Jerry will have scouted out the most wildflowers. There will be brief explanations at the start and along the way with ample time for participant questions.

Minors only when accompanied by an adult parent/guardian. Dogs allowed if leashed and socialized. DIFFICULTY: Easy, definitely suitable for families. Flat terrain, slow-paced. This will only be about a mile walk and last about two hours ending back at the Urban Ecology Center around 10:00 am.

The trail is a natural surface so be sure to wear sturdy shoes and, dependent on the weather, bring water, sun protection, and dress appropriate for the day and season. Suggested $3 individual or $5 family donation to the PHP Conservancy to support enhancements to the park.

This event’s general sponsors are the Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy, the San Antonio Parks and Recreation Department’s Natural Area Office, the Alamo Area Master Naturalists, and the Alamo Group of the Sierra Club. The SA Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas is a special sponsor.
