By becoming a one of our volunteer supporters. We stage several events through out the year to provide educational and cultural enrichment to the community and we need helpers to plan and execute these events. We host school children in the spring to teach them about how man has interacted with the land through the years. We also host an annual fundraiser in the fall in conjunction with the Medina River Natural Area. We also sponsor "The Trail 10k" which is a fun run/walk that follows a 6.2 mile section of the Medina River Greenway Trail (El Chapparral Trail).
Our suggested donation is $3 per person. $10 per person if you bring a horse. A Coggins Test for the horse is required. Groups over 10 can call for a special rate. All visitors must sign in.
If you enter the LHI property on the Medina River Greenway Trail, you must remain on the trail unless you have made an appointment to allow entry to another portion of the Land Heritage Institute.
We request a donation of $3 each for individuals. Call for groups of 10 or more or a guided tour. We ask a $10 donation for horseback riders. Contact (210) 829-1737 for more information.
