As Spring blossoms from March into May, so does our educational programming bud out with guided hikes, the City Open House, a Bioblitz event contributing to the City Nature Challenge, and the upcoming revival of Nature Explorer ’s Day (formerly known as 3rd Grade Science Day). The latter will involve hosting 200+ chil- dren from FISD for a day
In conjunction with the City Nature Challenge – San Antonio Metro Area, Friends of Fredericksburg Nature Center is sponsoring BioBlitz 2026. This event is free to the public and will be held Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

Plants are budding or even blooming, and our favorite birds show up everyday with familiar calls and songs. The upshot is a call to go outside, shake off the remnants of Winter, and enjoy the moment. Rejuvenation abounds
