New Urban Ecology Center opens at Hardberger Park on Sept. 7 O
n Sept. 7 the San Antonio community will welcome the latest addition to the west side of Phil
Hardberger Park (NW Military entrance). The Urban Ecology Center, an educational and working ecological system in the midst of the city, is a $5 million project designed to educate residents on the importance of preserving wild plants and animals. It will serve as an urban ecology learning facility for the South Texas region, and the hope for the new center is that it will inspire
future generations to care for ecological systems within the urban environment. The new center will offer educational programs to schools and youth groups and will provide adult lectures, workshops, discussions and weekend family programs. Programs will focus on botany, wildlife, general ecology and connecting people with nature through hands-on discovery. For the Sept. 7 event, the center will hold nature hikes beginning at 8 a.m. with a special grand opening program starting at 10 a.m.

Jalapeño del Sol 5K, 10K and 1 Mile Kids Run Coming Aug. 24
I
f you’re looking to participate in a summer run with the kids, look no further than the Jalapeño del Sol 5K/10K and 1 Mile Kids’ Run at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24. And don’t sweat over the summer sun; the trail is almost entirely shaded by oak trees. The chip-timed race travels through heavily wooded
dirt trails and can be uneven and rocky in places, so attention is critical. The event starts and ends at Classic Elite Soccer Fields, 11600 Starcrest in
San Antonio. The one-mile run for kids starts immediately after the 5K/10K and will follow the same trail with some paved trail included. Adult racers receive post-race breakfast tacos, a Zorrel tech shirt, refreshments and cerveza. Kids receive their own post-race award, T-shirt, refreshments and juice.
