Great Backyard Bird Count

Great Backyard Bird Count

Have you ever wanted to be a citizen-scientist? If so, you have a great opportunity this month with the Great Backyard Bird Count. The GBBC is a fun, free and easy way to collect data that will give scientists at the Audubon Society and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology an idea of how birds are faring in our beautiful Wimberley and how they might be helped and protected. I am only a casual backyard birder, but I plan to participate. 02/15/2024 12:00 AM

A Year of Extremes

A Year of Extremes

Last year was a rough one for the central Texas landscape. It was a year of extremes. Between the harsh ice storm in early February 2023 and the extreme drought over the summer, Wimberley residents have experienced some dramatic changes to the local landscape that remain challenging. Two summers of brutal heat and drought have killed plants and have left local watering holes, rivers and lakes with notably low water supplies going into 2024. 01/31/2024 12:00 AM

Cedar 2024

If you suffer from “Cedar Fever” I do not need to tell you that we are currently in the allergic reaction season. The local plant commonly called “Cedar” is in the Juniperus genus. There are over 70 species of Juniperus but the common one found growing locally on limestone is Juniperus ashei. 01/17/2024 12:00 AM
