Cibolo Application Form

Research Opportunities on Cibolo Preserve

Faculty from UTSA and their students can now ask for approval for access, for research purposes only, to the Cibolo Preserve, a 500 acre tract just east of Boerne in south central Kendal County. The land is notable for its beauty, variety of flora and fauna, geological features and areas of archeological interest. UTSA, in an effort to aid their researchers, is offering up to $3000 per project to help defray student researcher support, supplies and equipment. If you are interested in a morning visit to the preserve please contact:
Noe Saldana, (210) 458-7649 , noe.saldana@utsa.edu
