Upcoming Nature Series Programs
(The Nature Series is presented from September through April)
Friends of the Fredericksburg Nature Center host monthly Nature Series programs during the school year, September through April, however we do not have a program in December. The Nature Series programs occur on the second Tuesday of the month beginning at 7:00PM at the Gillespie County AgriLife Extension Office on Frederick Road, in Fredericksburg (MAP). All meetings are open to the public at no charge. The meetings last approximately one hour so that local schools and children can attend.

Wildflowers - Seeds of History - KLRU's documentary film about wildflowers. Discover the facts and legends behind the wildflowers that captivate us every spring. Why do we always see picturesque cattle among bluebonnets? Where did Indian blanket get its name? How did Native Americans and settling pioneers use wildflowers for food, medicinal cures, and to create distinctive tattoos? How are they being used today to cure cancer? Why are some years better than others? Please note that this program will run longer than the normal FFNC program. View the trailer here...
