Selah, Bamberger Ranch Preserve is a 46-year old habitat restoration project on 5,500 acres in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. Once referred to as the "worst piece of real estate in Blanco County," it is now considered to be one of the largest -- and most inspirational -- restoration projects on private land in Texas. Selah is used as a model for good land management practices and stewardship, as a research facility for biodiversity and as an outdoor classroom to 3,000 guests annually, half of which are school-aged children and their teachers from the Austin, San Antonio and surrounding regions.
Please join us Friday, January 15 at TEGG's rescheduled fall meeting when David Bamberger will share highlights of the history of the creation of the Preserve over lunch and then offer a tour with staff interpretation. There will be a demonstration of the importance of water and how land stewardship can impact not only the quantity but the quality. Time permitting, there will be a short walk on a well-maintained nature trail and a trip to the man-made bat cave.
Casual dress is recommended. No hiking shoes required.
Please specify if you'd prefer a vegetarian lunch when you register. Please register by January 8.
