Each April THCRR hosts Nature Quest, a six-day nature festival featuring expert-led programs on wildflowers, native plants, birding, butteflies, bats, and more, as well as a Wildflower Workshop, Native Plant Sale, & Field Trip each September. The region boasts 3 ecosystems, 5 rivers, 11 trees on the National Registry of Big Trees, the world's second largest Mexican Free-tailed bat population, and many endangered species including the Golden-cheeked Warbler, Black-capped Vireo, Sycamore Leaf Snowbell and others.
