Event Summary:
Join Hill Country Alliance and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for the first workshop in our three-part riparian series. This workshop series is tailored specifically to river- and creek-side landowners in the Hill Country and features Steve Nelle, who literally and figuratively wrote the book on stewarding Texas riparian areas! It’s a great opportunity for local landowners to learn from topic experts on practices and hands-on skills that can help enhance and protect their stretch of a stream. This year’s series will take place at a beautiful family ranch on the Guadalupe River in Boerne, TX.

Event Description:
Part 1 | Boerne, TX, 10/21/2023, 8:30a-2:30p, Location: Boerne
At this full-day workshop, participants will spend the morning learning about riparian function, hydrology, stewardship and best practices; in the afternoon, we’ll head outside for a site visit along the Guadalupe River to demonstrate riparian concepts and identify vegetation.

Part 2 | 02/03/2024, 2:00p-4:30p, Location: Boerne
Part 2 of our riparian series is a hands-on field day in which participants learn about and practice plant identification and riparian planting techniques.

Part 3 | 10/Date TBA/2024, 10:00a-12:30p, Location: Boerne
This is the third and final part of our riparian workshop series.
