Wild Neighbors Speaker Series

Wild Neighbors is a speaker series organized by Travis County Natural Resources and the City of Austin Wildland Conservation Division, which both manage large portions of the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve. Subject experts are invited to speak about Central Texas wildlife and how individuals can help their wild neighbors thrive. The series was originally hosted by our partners at Concordia University Texas but moved online in 2020 due to concerns about COVID-19 transmission.
