Keep Wimberley Beautiful. Hays County Master Naturalists (HCMN) and Katherine Ann Porter (KAPS) students are doing just that behind the Wimberley Village Library. Friends of the Wimberley Village Library (FOWVL) has provided funding for the project.
In spring of 2013, HCMNs began planting Texas natives and KAPS students spread lots of mulch. A raingarden and dry creek bed were last fall’s focus.
