    Led by Deb and Lee Wallace, our fall quarterly field trip to the Refuge will take participants to Doeskin Ranch, one of the publicly-accessible tracts of the refuge. This field trip will cover lowland riparian habitat to hilltop meadows habitat and everything in-between. If you have never been to the Refuge, this will be an excellent introduction to an area of the Refuge that you can visit on your own at any time.

    Participants will meet at The Container Store at US 183 and Capital of Texas Hwy at  6:20 am and then carpool to Doeskin Ranch from there.

    The Friends of Balcones Canyonlands NWR will have lunch available for you to purchase afterwards for a donation of $10 at the Flying X Ranch where participants can enjoy a recap of the field trip.

    We expect to be driving back to the Container Store no later than 1:00. Registration required. contact Laurie, lauriefoss@flywayadventures.com or 751-3677, for more details.
