We’re proud to support a new paddling access point along the Guadalupe River in Cuero!

On April 30, we joined Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and local partners for the Guadalupe Valley Paddling Trail kiosk ribbon cutting at FM 766. The updated kiosk provides guidance for paddlers and supports recreation and tourism in DeWitt County.

Water systems aren’t built around one season.

They’re managed over years — sometimes decades — with the understanding that conditions will change.

The goal isn’t to react in the moment. It’s to stay prepared over time.

Earlier this month, the GBRA Environmental team connected with members of the Texas Master Naturalist Lindheimer Chapter at the Mammen Family Library in Bulverde. We were delighted to share information with their volunteers, who play an important role in supporting education, outreach, and stewardship of natural resources within their communities.

GBRA staff shared insight into local conservation efforts and water quality initiatives, helping connect regional work to broader efforts throughout the Texas Hill Country.

Opportunities like this help strengthen partnerships and conversations around responsible resource management and preserving the natural areas that make this region so special.
