The Wonder of Texas' Native Plants at Government Canyon State Natural Area

  • When: Sunday, August 25, 2024,  9:00 am - 11:30 am
  • Location: Government Canyon State Natural Area: 12861 Galm Rd., San Antonio, TX 78254
  • Cost: Free with Park Admission

Take a plant walk to discover the diverse native wildflowers, trees, and shrubs of Bexar County.

Do you want to know more about the Native Plants in NW Bexar County? If so, please join us for a fairly easy hike (about 1.5 miles round trip) over gentle terrain. We will discuss how local geology has contributed to the extensive biodiversity across the region and how the resulting plant life encouraged Native Americans and European settlers to live here. We will explore up to 30 native Texas plants (season dependent) and discuss how they support favorable habitats.

Open to all ages. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

Meet at the Rock Garden beside the Visitor Center.
