Bright Leaf Preserve

Welcome to Bright Leaf Preserve in Austin, Texas. This preserve was made possible through the efforts and purchases of a woman named Georgia Lucas (not to be confused with the man who created Star Wars). While exploring the preserve's trails one can learn a little about the local geology of the Texas Hill Country and may even find a fossil. It is a violation of the rules to explore the trails without a guide. Come out and explore.
