From Cedar Break to Cedar Park
Preserving an old growth cedar forest

DESCRIPTION
Cedar has been vilified by ranchers for encroachment on grasslands, consumption of water, and causing erosion. Recent research has provided new information that counters many of these long held beliefs.  The program will present the case for preservation of old growth cedar in the hill country from one rancher's unique perspective and 23-year experience in ranch restoration in Boerne. Hillside erosion control and trail building techniques will be presented as we hike to the top of Malakopf Hill where 360 degree views of Boerne surround an historic Texas monument honoring Ferdinand Herff.

LOCATION:  Meet at Cibolo Nature Center (140 City Park Rd. in Boerne,) then caravan to the Kennon property.
PRESENTER:  Bill Kennon
COST:  $20  (Please bring a check, cash or call 830-249-4616 to pay credit card by phone.)
