Nature Center winter walk exposes invasive species

Editor’s Note: The Boerne Star sent freelance writer Cori Smelker on the “ Winter Woodlands Riparian Walk” through the Cibolo Nature Center on Jan. 27. The following is a recap of her adventure.

Unlike the riverside picnic with riparian entertainment experienced by Mrs. Bucket et al., from “Keeping Up Appearances” fame, the Winter Woodlands Riparian Walk hosted by Land Manager David Touchon was accident free and highly informative.

Jan. 27 was chilly, but six of us met up with Touchon at the Cibolo Nature Center at 9 a.m. for a ramble along the creek. One person, Karen, even drove in from Kerrville as she was looking at volunteering with Boerne’s city parks.
