Evening Hike at Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve

Join Hill Country Conservancy and Central Texas Mycology for an enchanting sunset hike at Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve as part of Hill Country Conservancy’s 25th-anniversary celebration! As the day fades into night, we’ll explore the preserve's unique ecosystems under the guidance of experts, combining the magic of a UV Night Walk with mothing and wildlife exploration.

To make the experience even more fun, Central Texas Mycology will lead a UV Night Hike providing Bingo cards to guide your discoveries, challenging you to spot nocturnal species that glow under UV light. Additionally, we’ll set up a mothing activity to attract and observe different moth species as they gather at the light.

Nestled along the banks of the Colorado River, this 50-acre preserve is not only a vital environmental treasure but also a critical habitat restoration site, offering a serene escape from the city. As we stroll through its diverse landscape, we’ll delve into the preserve’s nighttime wonders, searching for nocturnal wildlife and hidden natural features that only come to life after dark.

Whether you’re a seasoned nature enthusiast or simply looking to connect with the outdoors, this is an unforgettable opportunity to experience the preserve in a whole new light—literally—while celebrating Hill Country Conservancy’s 25 years of preserving the natural beauty of Central Texas!

Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve is a 50-acre environmental treasure and habitat restoration project situated on the banks of the Colorado River. The preserve was donated to Hill Country Conservancy in December 2000 by the Nalle Family, who wished for years to preserve their beloved “Bunny Run” for the public to enjoy. The conservation management of this preserved Lake Austin waterfront and proximity to Austin make the Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve a visual and environmental masterpiece. Learn more.
