Nature Festival

Saturday, May 10, 2025

A vibrant celebration dedicated to honoring the earth. Join us as we bring together communities, Texas Master Naturalists and other environmentalists to raise awareness about the importance of restoring lands to their original, native state. Through a series of informative presentations, bird and butterfly walks, a storytelling session and tram tours, this festival highlights ecological knowledge and sustainable practices. The festival serves as a call to action, as we hope to inspire people to reconnect with the land, and advocate for a future where nature thrives in harmony with human existence.
