The City of Wimberley has been recognized as a Bird City Texas community for 2025, an unusual honor awarded by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in partnership with Audubon Texas. The prestigious certification celebrates Wimberley’s commitment to protecting and enhancing bird habitats, engaging in conservation education and promoting a sustainable environment for both wildlife and residents.
“Being named a Bird City Texas community is an extraordinary achievement for Wimberley. It reflects the dedication of our residents, businesses and city to prioritize sustainability and coexistence with nature,” said Richard Shaver, Director of Wimberley Parks and Recreation. “We are humbled and proud to join this elite group of cities committed to protecting our avian friends and their habitats.”
Bird City Texas is a certification program designed to recognize cities that excel in protecting birds and their habitats where people live, work, and recreate. To achieve this recognition, communities must implement science-based initiatives and community-centric actions. Since its inception in 2020, only 10 cities have earned this designation, making Wimberley’s achievement even more significant.
