A film Festival on the ranch

Pines and Prairies Land Trust presents the Wild & Scenic Film Festival! Join us for an evening under the stars at our nature preserve Billig Ranch to enjoy several short films showcasing amazing stories of conservationists, ranchers, and adventurers across the country.

Attendees will watch the films on a large screen and can stay to camp. Preserve tours (Prairie Insects, Archeology, Birding), hiking, live music from the Scenic Syncopators and other activities will be offered, including some just for kids. This is a family-friendly event!

Concessions will also be available (snack items and various drinks) but you can bring your own food or order from nearby Roadhouse Paige or the Farmhouse Diner (at the Whoop Stop). There will be a raffle and adult beverages will be free while supplies last. We also have some giveaways for all attendees.

We hear that Smokey the Bear may make an appearance as well as the Bastrop Fire Department!

Gates open at 3:00 pm, Films start at 7:00 and run until 10:00 pm

About the Ranch

Billig Ranch is 677 acres of land protected and owned by Pines and Prairies Land Trust. PPLT is undergoing many prairie restoration projects here and plans to turn Billig Ranch into an example of holistic ranch management.

Camping

Pines and Prairies Land Trust is excited to offer attendees a unique opportunity to camp out on the ranch following the screening. This will be primitive car camping with campers needing to bring all of their own equipment. Portable toilets will be on-site and a water tap for refilling bottles. Email president@pplt.org for more information. Camping will be an additional fee of $25.
