- Description:
- The vegetation identification and percent cover surveys at Scenic Canyon continue. While not required, it helps if you can identify Texas flora; we will teach survey methods. Our surveys include off trail strenuous hiking in sometimes very dense vegetation, and it is important for you to bring water (and a pack of some kind in which to carry it). Also it is good to wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts, hat, sunscreen, and, if you wish, insect repellant. Because some people are allergic to sulphur, please do not plan to apply sulphur to the brush/snake leggings we can loan you. Not required, but if you have a compass, bring it.
For questions, contact Jayne Neal (210-372-9124, jayne.neal@sanantonio.gov) or Wendy Leonard (210-372-9124, wendy.leonard@sanantonio.gov).
Scenic Canyon is located at 18011 Scenic Canyon Rd. Parking is in a designated area across the street at Grey Moss Inn.
Approved for volunteer service hours.
