Our Story

Austin Urban Nature Tours was born from a deep love for urban ecology and a desire to connect people with the natural world within city limits. Our founders, passionate advocates for urban nature, envisioned a way to showcase the rich biodiversity that thrives amidst Austin’s urban landscape. Through our guided tours, we aim to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of how nature and urban life coexist, encouraging sustainable practices and a deeper connection to the environment.
Founded by a team of ecologists and nature enthusiasts, Austin Urban Nature Tours began with a simple mission: to reveal the often-overlooked beauty of urban ecosystems. Our tours highlight the intricate relationships between plants, animals, and humans in the city, offering insights into how these elements adapt and thrive. By exploring Austin’s green spaces, we hope to inspire a sense of wonder and responsibility towards preserving our urban natural heritage.
