This will be a fun event this weekend. Bright Leaf is in
central/northwest Austin. It's the empty space on an Austin map just
northwest of Camp Mabry. The park is not open to the public yet (pending
development), but there is an open house this weekend. Families are very
welcome.

Bright Leaf guided hikes are also available by appointment for groups
such as Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, school groups, or even a group of
friends. Just call and we'll arrange a hike. The Friends group also
gives hikes twice a month that are open to the public - check at the
websites below for dates and times.
