Description

Wild Basin is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting an endangered habitat and encouraging wise stewardship through education. In addition to the display of our natural collections, we hope to develop interpretive displays inside our building and along out trails. Our educational programs will also expand to privide more specialized information for visitors, school groups, and teachers. The barriers are financial and time to create these. Resource Sharing Projects make it possible for the whole to become greater than the individuals. Many of us have differend audiences who never go to other facilities but would benefit from materials that are displayed or provided at the other museums.

History

Twenty-five years ago seven women formed a group "Now or Never" and from the group Wild Basin Wilderness was set aside for future generations. This was an effort by a small, dedicated group who recognized the signs of growth in West Austin and the need to preserve land for educational purposes. Creative fundraising made their dream possible. In the early go's an educational building made their vision more viable, allowing for a small staff and educational program at Wild Basin.
