About the Project

“The funding provided by this grant enabled us to curate experiences for our broader community and help them envision themselves in natural spaces and grow together.” 

Mel Sarmento , Guadalupe River Parks Conservancy Education Program Manager

The "Love the Guadalupe River Park” Two-Year Public Programs Pilot is an initiative by the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy to develop, implement and measure the outcomes and impact of a regular calendar of parks and nature-based public programs. Supported by the Open Space Authority, this project supports the implementation of 20 public programs over two years (approximately 10 per year), with offerings such as trail tours, nature walks, visitor center programs, special-topic workshops, youth activities and more. The aim is to cultivate environmental stewardship, social cohesion and civic engagement through nature-based programming that connects people to nature and each other.
