The 39 acre Nalle Bunny Run Wildlife Preserve is situated on the banks of Lake Austin and is not only an environmental treasure, but an important habitat restoration project as well. The preserve was donated to Hill Country Conservancy in December 2000 was named for Anne Byrd Nalle. Mrs. Nalle wished for years to preserve her beloved “Bunny Run” for the public to enjoy. Her strong conservation ethic inspired her husband, “Tex”, and son, Bill, to join her in donating the land to Hill Country Conservancy. Bill and his wife, Christie still live on adjoining land and partner with Hill Country Conservancy to manage the Preserve. The preserve consists of five major habitat types including a juniper-oak woodland, a deciduous woodland, a sandy prairie, a mixed-species parkland, and riparian corridor along the Colorado River.
Special Notice: All hikes are weather permitting. There are no restroom facilities on the preserve. Please leave your pets, bicycles, and motorized vehicles at home.
