Though the official start of Spring is not until March 20th, the signs of the season change have begun to sprout all around us. Mountain Laurels are blooming, Purple Martins are nesting, and baby animals are popping up! The warm weather change brings so much life back to the lands of the Cibolo, and we’re excited to invite the community out to enjoy it.
At the Cibolo Nature Center
The Visitor Center at the Nature Center has had a few updates to get it ready for the busy season. Be sure to stop in and see what’s new! We have started renting out our Cibolo Explorer Backpacks- “a do-it-yourself field trip” which allows visitors with children to check out a backpack filled with a variety of books and supplies to guide them on nature-themed activities. This program was designed to encourage adults and children to look at nature from a new, inquisitive perspective and learn more about their environment together. Our current backpacks include the Animal Signs Backpack, a look into prints, scat, and what these say about the animal that left them, and the Insect Interaction Bag, an opportunity to investigate insects and an introduction to citizen science.
