2nd Saturday Nature Talks

Gather at the River Oaks Courts with the naturally-curious for fun, facts and community

Your presence at a 2nd Saturday Nature Talk or Busy-Birding tour, Boot Camp or Big Day/Weekend earns you a free entry in our

GOLDEN TICKET drawing at our March 2026 nature talk.

One lucky winner will receive a half-day guided nature tour for up to 4 guests.

No Oompa-Loompas but the Golden Ticket does honor our local celebrity bird, the GOLDEN CHEEKED WARBLER who returns to the Hill Country every early March to set up home, breed and heads back south with the new family in Aug.

.. and yes, the below graphic hasn't been updated but DS from Kerrville won the 2025 drawing. We're doing it again and will draw another winner on March 7, 2026.

Grab a refreshing drink, delicious sandwich or other goodies in our Art House Café & Gallery then kick back for a kid-friendly, adult-enjoyed nature talk. Afterwards, there's plenty of opportunity to stroll our Native Plant Garden or walk down to the Medina River to continue enjoying nature. Hosted by Medina River Oaks Courts.
