Westcave Preserve is a natural treasure of the Texas Hill Country possessing unique, majestic beauty and ecological diversity. Located adjacent to the Pedernales River in Southwest Travis County, this 30-acre gem has been providing unique educational experiences for Central Texas students since 1974.

Westcave Preserve’s school programs combine the opportunity to observe the plants, animals, and geology of the Edwards Plateau with a hike into a cool, sheltered canyon of lush plant life. At the head of the canyon stands Westcave, with a waterfall that tumbles over fern-covered travertine, 40 feet to the emerald pool below.

All programs include a guided tour of the Preserve, and schedule permitting, time to explore the exhibits at the Warren Skaaren Environmental Learning Center. Programs are tailored to the age and interest of your group. Teachers may choose from one of our standard programs or request a customized program that meets the needs of their individual class.
