A hundred acres of creek, marsh, woodland, and restored prairie on the edge of Boerne — one of the oldest land-conservation efforts in the Hill Country, and an easy, unhurried place to walk.

The preserve grew out of a community effort in the early 1990s to protect the marshland along Cibolo Creek, and it has expanded steadily since into a working model of Hill Country conservation.
