Partner Event: Birdathon at Pecan Springs Karst Preserve with Travis Audubon
May 1 @ 7:30 am – 12:00 pm
This event is organized by our friends at Travis Audubon and led by HCC’s Director of Science and Stewardship, Rich Kostecke.
Join Rich Kostecke, Hill Country Conservancy’s Director of Science and Stewardship (as well as Travis Audubon’s Vice-president) for a special opportunity to visit Pecan Springs Karst Preserve.
Pecan Springs Karst Preserve, owned and stewarded by Hill Country Conservancy, protects 1,205 acres of ecologically sensitive land in northern Williamson County, 5 miles west of Jarrell, Texas. The property sits within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country and protects 4 spring complexes that contribute to Salado Creek, numerous karst features (including 7 caves), and habitat for threatened and endangered species such as the Golden-cheeked Warbler, Salado Salamander, and Tricolored Bat. Time permitting, we may visit the nearby Chatham Tract, 208-acres generously donated to Hill Country Conservancy this past December, which offers somewhat different birding habitats.
You’ll be redirected to Travis Audubon’s website for more information and registration.
