Celebrate Mother Earth at The Springs!
Here, amidst the rolling hills and sprawling landscapes of the Texas Hill Country, we are privileged to witness the magnificence of nature in all its splendor, from the majestic cypress and oak trees to the crystal-clear springs that meander through our property.
Earth Day holds a special place in our hearts as we recognize the profound interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. It serves as a reminder of our responsibility to be good stewards of the Earth, to cherish its abundant resources, and to nurture its ecosystems however we can.
At our retreat, every day is Earth Day. We strive to integrate sustainable practices into our operations wherever possible. Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the confines of our property, as we actively engage with our local community to promote environmental awareness and conservation efforts through our partnerships with KIRB (Keep it Real Beautiful) and the Hill Country Alliance.
Join us this year, save the date for May 17th, 2024!
