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.

Come comfortable, curious, and ready to simply observe and enjoy. For those who’d rather not traipse through the woods, there’s plenty of room on the deck to sit, visit, and enjoy the view.

Parking is limited for this MEMBERS ONLY event and an RSVP is required, so send us an email and we will give you the needed instructions on where to meet for parking and ride-sharing. Signed permission slips are required for each member that attends. Also, don’t forget to bring your water with you since this is an outdoor event. Also consider bringing your WALKING STICK with you in case you need the support as we hike the unlevel terrain.

Trees of Phil Hardberger Park
2026-03-28 08:00 - 10:30 (America/Chicago)
Location: Phil Hardberger Park, 8400 NW Military Hwy, San Antonio, TX 78231

SPECIAL NOTE: Our presenter has so much to share we are “allowing” 2.5 hours for the full walk, but participants are free to leave earlier.

The event’s purpose is to learn about the many special understory and canopy trees in our area. This walk will be led by Michael Nentwich, president and founder of Bexar Branches Alliance. Michael has nearly 20 years of experience in community forestry management and program development. He was San Antonio’s first City Forester and later served as City Forester and Bureau Manager of Parks and Urban Forestry with the City of Norfolk.

He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science and a Master’s Degree in Forestry from Stephen F. Austin University. He has extensive knowledge and a deep and abiding interest in trees as well as being a great communicator. You will be introduced to the common tree species found in the park, and probably will get to see and learn about Eve’s Necklace, Texas Kidneywood, and Little-leaf Mulbery among many other fascinating species.

Please arrive about 7:45 am SHARP so we can register everyone and be ready for an 8:00 am start. You will walk an about 1.5 mile route starting and ending at the Urban Ecology Center. 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.

The trail is a natural surface so be sure to wear sturdy shoes and, dependent on the weather, bring water, sun protection, and dress appropriately for the day and season. Suggested $3 individual or $5 family donations 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 Areas 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.

Contact Stan Drezek (stanwendre@gmail.com) for additional information.or questions.
