FY26 Cibolo Preserve (August 1, 2025 – July 1, 2026)
The Office of the Vice President for Research at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UT San Antonio) is proud to work with the Cibolo Preserve to allow faculty from UT San Antonio and their students to use the ground for research purposes in science and environmental studies including, but not limited to: archaeology, geology, plant life, water, birds and animals.
The Cibolo Preserve is a 500+ acre, non-profit natural habitat laboratory just east of Boerne in south central Kendall County. It is a uniquely preserved cross-section of history and nature in central Texas. The land is notable for its beauty, variety of flora and fauna, geological features, and areas of archaeological interest. It is bisected by Cibolo Creek with sections on the floodplain of the creek and recent alluvium on adjacent terraces of the creek. Slopes around the creek offer special microhabitats for some of the region’s more interesting plant species.
