Looking for a way to connect with nature on the Winter Solstice? Join Travis County interpretive guides Jaya and Aimee for a rewarding hike on the shortest day of the year! During this moderately challenging trek, we will explore potential black-capped vireo habitat and climb into golden-cheeked warbler habitat while we chat about the natural and cultural significance of the winter solstice. Views of Lake Travis and surrounding BCP areas will captivate us as we explore Volente Peak.

If you have not joined us on the Travis County BCP for an event in the past, please fill out and submit a volunteer waiver.

The BCP is one of the nation’s largest urban preserves, covering more than 33,000 acres – about 50 square miles. It is made up of more than 140 individual tracts managed by both public and private partners. The BCP was created in 1996 and continues to protect habitat for seven endangered species and other species of concern found on the preserve.
