Today was planting day on the Texas Master Gardeners adopted section of the Kerrville River Trail, where they called in some muscle from Kerrville Boy Scout Troop 111 to dig some holes. 30 native Bur Oak, Cedar Elm, and Chinquapin Oak trees along with a bunch of Deer Muhly and Big Muhly grasses were planted. This effort helps stabilize soil, increase biodiversity, provide wildlife habitat, shade the ground, and help the river recover from disturbance.
The Adopt a River Trail program connects volunteer groups to replanting efforts along the Kerrville River Trail — guiding invasive species control, trash pickup, and native plant restoration along this public greenspace. It's a project of the Kerrville Urban Trail System and the Kerr County River Foundation, two nonprofits Jeremy founded to put community stewardship into action.
Together, these organizations work with the City of Kerrville, Schreiner University, Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas Forest Service, UGRA, Hill Country Alliance, and other local and regional partners to make Kerr County a better place for everyone who lives and visits here.
Community Collaboration is a pillar of the GoKerrCounty campaign — and something we practice, not just preach.
