The Cibolo Center for Conservation offers a sprawling natural sanctuary right in Boerne, dedicated to protecting local ecosystems and providing outdoor education.
Spanning over 100 acres, The Cibolo Center for Conservation is a premier destination for experiencing the diverse environments of the Texas Hill Country. The center features several distinct ecosystems, including a restored tallgrass prairie, a marsh, and the shaded banks of Cibolo Creek. Visitors can explore miles of well-maintained trails that wind through these habitats, offering excellent opportunities for bird watching and wildlife photography. The on-site nature center provides educational exhibits and programs focused on conservation and local ecology.
Yes, dogs are welcome on the trails but must remain on a leash at all times to protect the wildlife.
Access to the trails and the nature center is free, though donations to support conservation efforts are appreciated.
While most trails are natural surface or crushed granite, there are some paved and boardwalk sections that are wheelchair and stroller accessible.
