Join us for a UV Night Walk with EPIC for a private campout under the stars in the Texas Hill Country!
Join EPIC (Explore. Protect. Inspire. Connect.) for an unforgettable camping experience in the Texas Hill Country! This members-only EPIC event provides access to the brand-new Pecan Springs Karst Preserve in Williamson County.
Pecan Springs Karst Preserve is 1,205 acres of ecologically sensitive land just five miles west of Jarrell, TX. The picturesque property sits within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone at the gateway to the Texas Hill Country. Pecan Springs Karst Preserve is home to at least 19 Species of Greatest Conservation Need, including Salado Salamanders, Golden-cheeked Warblers, and Tricolored Bats. The protection, restoration, and appropriate stewardship of this property are essential for their survival.
This is your chance to connect with other like-minded individuals, explore the beauty of the Hill Country, and learn about conservation efforts in the region. You'll have the chance to hike around the preserve and stargaze in the clear night sky. So pack your tents, sleeping bags, and hiking boots, and get ready for an EPIC weekend on Pecan Springs Karst Preserve with Hill Country Conservancy!
Event details are still being finalized and dates are subject to change. Stay tuned—we’ll share the full itinerary, timing, and logistics soon.
