The Balcones Canyonlands Chapter is a Texas Master Naturalist chapter sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife and Texas Parks and Wildlife, partnered with Concordia University in north Austin as a collegiate chapter. It trains volunteers through a 12-week Central Texas course and requires 40 hours of annual service plus 8 hours of advanced training to stay certified. Members work across western and northern Travis County on pollinator gardens, water quality and bat monitoring, invasive plant removal and native replanting, trail work, and interpretive guiding at sites including the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge and Hamilton Pool Preserve.
