The Cibolo Center for Conservation, or The Cibolo, traces its roots to the late 1980s, when Carolyn Chipman Evans and her husband, Brent, sought to create a place for Boerne residents to learn about and connect with nature along Cibolo Creek.
Now, the nonprofit has become a “model of conservation education,” owning two educational campuses complete with walking trails, weekly classes, special events and more, according to their website.
Additionally, the group owns and manages several private wildlife sanctuaries scattered across Kendall County, one of the newest being the 32-acre Sisterdale Sanctuary that was acquired in late 2023.
Kel Hoffman, the land conservation director for The Cibolo, told Community Impact that protecting land is crucial for both preserving it from development and educational purposes.
