The Wonder of Texas’ Native Plants showcases plants in northwest Bexar County on this fairly easy hike (about 1.5 miles round trip) over gentle terrain. Your GCSNA guide will discuss how local geology has contributed to the extensive biodiversity across the region and how the resulting plant life encouraged Native Americans and European settlers to live here. We will explore up to 30 native Texas plants and discuss how they support favorable habitats. Open to all ages (minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.)
