The Cibolo Center for Conservation Nature Center and farm in Boerne, TX dedicated to education and preservation. Cibolo.org/calendar/
(515)

The Cibolo Center for Conservation transforms lives through the love of nature, welcoming guests into a beautiful natural Hill Country setting for nature education, enriching community experiences, and environmental research in action. Participation in water conservation, land stewardship, care for wildlife, sustainability, planting, and the celebration of harvest remind guests of their shared humanity, resulting in a community of belonging. With two campuses encompassing over 160 acres in the heart of Boerne, Texas, the Cibolo Nature Center offers miles of trails through five distinct ecosystems and the historic Herff Farm underscores our community’s ties to its cultural and agrarian roots. These campuses protect the fragile Cibolo Creek watershed that contributes over a million gallons per day to the Trinity and Edwards Aquifers, the primary sources of drinking water for the region.

🇩🇪 ⚽ We recently welcomed a delegation from Darmstadt, Germany (San Antonio’s sister city) to Herff Farm during their visit to the area for a friendly international soccer match. The delegation joined SV Darmstadt 98 as the club made history playing on U.S. soil for the first time against San Antonio FC.

With Dr. Ferdinand Herff’s roots in Darmstadt, their time at Herff Farm was a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the history and connections shared across our communities.

Thank you to City of San Antonio - Municipal Government, City of San Antonio Economic Development, Wissenschaftsstadt Darmstadt and Cibolo Creek Brewing Co. for making this special visit possible!
