April 3rd First Saturday is on!

Join us April 3rd for a fun, outdoor experience. Walk through the aftermath of a prairie burn! Texas Master Naturalists will walk you through the burned remains of a prairie to learn about the importance of burns and what it does for the prairie. BPRC will have its live raptor ambassadors out to learn about their unique adaptations and importance in our environment. The first Saturday of every month we are open to the public. The theme is different each month so visit our Special Events page to see what is happening this month. No pre-registration necessary.
