Pedernales Falls State Park – 100th Anniversary Celebration

Ranger Steve is providing many fun and different ways to volunteer at the Fall Fest. Park festivities will start at 5pm and the Star Party will go on from after dark (sun sets at 7:12pm) till 10pm. Choose the activity or activities you are most passionate about!

• • Guided Hikes – From the Falls Parking lot down to the falls overlook, or even from the Star Theater along the Southern Equestrian trails. If hiking after dark, we have ultraviolet flashlights for searching for scorpions.

• • Mothing – If you love moths, we have an ultraviolet lamp and white cloth for attracting moths after dark! Help people see these special creatures in a new light and see how many species we can count!

• • Wildlife Demo Tables – We have dozens of different skins, skulls, shells, and examples of scat to teach people about the wild animals that live out here. If you have your own supply you can certainly bring them to show off!

• • Fossil Presentations – We have many fossils from the hill country that folks love to learn about!

• • Fishing Activities – We plan to have a backyard bass set, knot tying station, and example fishing set-ups for folks to learn how to fish with. (NOTE: No actual fishing because the set-up area will be too far away from the river.)

• • Master Naturalist Table – Our opportunity to publicize who you are and what you love to do. Draw potential members, network with other community groups, and demonstrate our activities!

Parking Assistance – We can always use volunteers to help with traffic control. It will be important to show people how to park so that their headlights don’t shine on the telescopes and stargazers after dark.
