Program areas at Cibolo Center for Conservation
Educational programs and camps are conducted throughout the year. The organization provides adult programs including presentations, lectures and workshops on Conservation and environmental subjects and provides a broad array of children's programs which are designed to teach children about Conservation and preservation of the environment and the ecosystems and plant life in the Cibolo creek watershed area in kendall county, bexar county and surrounding areas. In addition, the organization hosts several children's camps during the year.
The nature school is an immersive, high quality and research-based preschool program for children ages 3-5 years old. Students spend the majority of their day in a natural setting engaged in experiential learning, including outdoor play and group exploration such as hiking the herff farm's grounds, building forts, dramatic play, digging, gardening, and other hands-on experiences with the natural world in which they live.
The stewardship program is designed to provide information to the public regarding issues impacting the Cibolo creek watershed area as well as general land, water and wildlife. The program consists of three activities: community science - a research activity where staff and volunteers collect crucial data on plants, water, and wildlife that inhabit the organization's property. This data is used to determine the impact on property due to urbanization. Cibolo Conservation corridor - a land and water initiative to improve water quality along the upper Cibolo creek watershed, protect and restore working lands, and preserve and enhance Conservation efforts on public and private lands. Land management - organization's effort to reach out to landowners to provide information on best practices as it relates to stewardship and Conservation matters impacting landowner land holdings.
