EPIC Summer Nature Night at Nalle Bunny Run Preserve
August 29 @ 4:00 pm – 10:30 pm
When the Texas heat refuses to let up, there’s no better place to be than along the cool waters of the Colorado River. Join EPIC for a summer evening at Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve, where we’ll trade the day’s triple-digit temperatures for a refreshing evening swim, a cookout with friends, and an unforgettable evening exploring the preserve after dark.
As the sun sets, the preserve comes alive in a whole new way. We’ll set up mothing rigs with HCC’s Director of Science & Stewardship, Rich Kostecke, to discover the incredible diversity of moths and other nocturnal insects that emerge after dark. We’ll also delve into the preserve’s nighttime wonders, using UV flashlights to search searching for hidden natural features you can’t see in the sunlight.
Whether you’re looking to cool off in the lake, connect with fellow EPIC members, or experience the magic of nighttime wildlife, this is the perfect way to spend a summer evening.
What’s included:
- Exclusive access to Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve
- Swim and float along Lake Austin
- Cookout dinner with hamburgers, hot dogs, and other light refreshments
- Guided nighttime mothing experience
ABOUT NALLE BUNNY RUN WILDLIFE PRESERVE
Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve is a 50-acre environmental treasure and habitat restoration project situated on the banks of the Colorado River. The preserve was donated to Hill Country Conservancy in December 2000 by the Nalle Family, who wished for years to preserve their beloved “Bunny Run” for the public to enjoy. The conservation management of this preserved Lake Austin waterfront and proximity to Austin make the Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve a visual and environmental masterpiece. Learn more.
