Prairie in Your Pocket at Government Canyon State Natural Area

  • When: Friday, September 6, 2024,  7:00 pm -  9:00 pm
  • Location: Government Canyon State Natural Area: 12861 Galm Rd., San Antonio, TX 78254

Wildlife habitat isn't just in our parks. Your own yard can provide a place of refuge for butterflies, birds, and other wildlife...as well as yourself.

Meet Ranger Lisa in the Exhibit Gallery to discuss ways you can create a pocket prairie in even the smallest space in your yard using plants which are native to our region. Bring your questions and a notebook, and we'll share some ideas.

Who Is Invited:

This activity is open to ages 12 and up and is a seated activity/discussion. Minors must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. No pets please.

Where to Meet:

Meet at the Exhibit Gallery, next to the Visitor Center.

How to Prepare:

Registration is NOT required. Though the activity is free, entrance fees to the Natural Area do apply. We often fill to capacity. To ensure entrance and save time at the Fee Booth, please pre-purchase and print out a day pass. Day passes can be reserved beginning one month before the date of your visit.

Dress for hiking outdoors. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen, bug spray and a hat are recommended. Wear layers that can be added or removed as weather conditions change. Bring at least 1 liter of water per person.
