Bamberger Ranch Preserve – Lead Nature Hikes
On October 7th and 8th, the 3rd grade students from Dripping Springs Elementary in Dripping Springs are making two separate day trips to the Bamberger Ranch Preserve. A minimum of 6 volunteers are needed on each day to: 1) lead 8-10 students on the trail from the Madrone Lake patio to the Center; 2) point out interesting things occurring in nature; and 3) help maintain spacing between groups. The students are scheduled to arrive about 10 am and depart around 2 pm each day. Planned activities include: the rain machine demonstration; a 30-minute nature hike from the Madrone Lake patio to the Center; sack lunch; and lessons on dinosaurs, fossils, and bats. It is anticipated about 65 students will arrive each day and the 3rd graders will be divided into two groups with one group seeing the rain machine and hiking while the other group learns about dinosaurs, fossils, and bats. Then the groups switch after lunch so that all students will have a chance to experience the full program. As a result, volunteers will be needed to lead the trail hikes twice each day– once before lunch and again after lunch. Volunteers should plan to meet in the parking lot of the Margaret Bamberger Research & Education Center by 9:30 am on either October 7th or 8th or both and bring a sack lunch. If you plan to volunteer, please let me know so I can inform the ranch staff who to expect each day.
