Designed specifically for Audubon's amazing network of dedicated chapters and partners, the event includes a day and a half of exciting field trips, inspiring speakers, in-depth hands-on workshops and the camaraderie only Audubon can provide.
Located in pristine Texas Hill Country habitat at McKinney Roughs Nature Park in Cedar Creek, TX (near Bastrop), attendees can join a guided birding walk or venture out on a hike down to the banks of the Colorado River. McKinney Roughs is an 1,100 acre nature park where characteristics of four ecosystems – Post Oak Savannah, Blackland Prairie, East Texas Piney Woods, and a riparian zone – converge to create an unusual blend of natural resources. Located just 13 miles east of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, McKinney Roughs is home to hundreds of plant and animal species living within the rolling box canyons, wildflower meadows and lazy river bends of the Texas Colorado River.
There are a variety of accommodation options available including on-site dormitories, Airbnb/HomeAway homes, and the Lost Pines Hyatt Resort.
Program registration includes a field trip on Friday afternoon, sessions, and breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday. Travel scholarships may be available to chapter members who are traveling a distance greater than 150 miles and require financial assistance to attend.
