The mission of WildFest San Antonio is to educate residents and visitors about our unique natural and historical environments and to increase awareness of nature in and around San Antonio.

Wildfest San Antonio, San Antonio's second annual birding and nature festival will be held May 1-4, 2008. With its abundance of natural areas such as Mitchell Lake Audubon Center, Medina River Natural Area, Government Canyon State Natural Area, the Botanical Gardens, the Missions National Historical Park and others, San Antonio will be one of few large cities to host such an event.

The festival will include a broad spectrum of workshops and fieldtrips that will include birds, butterflies, bats, plants (wild flowers), art, history and geology. A number of the events will be focused on getting children involved in nature.

There also will be a number of workshops and field trips aimed at social science, science, and other teachers. We expect to attract a large number of local residents to the events as well as visitors from throughout the United States and North America.
