There’s so much to see at the EAA Education Outreach Center… and sometimes the most fascinating discoveries must be magnified to examine life on a smaller scale. 🔬💧

Our center features a MicroEye interactive exhibit, which lets visitors take a closer look at real specimens and ...explore the tiny details that make up our natural world. From magnified textures to up-close views of organisms and materials connected to the aquifer, it’s a hands-on way to experience science in action.

It’s one thing to talk about biology.
It’s another to actually see specimens at a microscopic level.

Whether you’re visiting with a class, bringing the family, or exploring on your own, the MicroEye is just one of the many interactive ways the EOC brings STEAM learning to life.

Introducing, Sara Beesley 🌱

The Edwards Aquifer Authority recently welcomed Sara Beesley into the role of Chief Development Officer. In her role, she will act as the Executive Director of the Edwards Aquifer Conservancy guiding the organization towards their mission to enhance, protect,... and conserve the Edwards Aquifer System by supporting the Edwards Aquifer Authority.

💧Did you know the Edwards Aquifer Conservancy (EAC) owns the Edwards Aquifer Authority Field Research Park (EAA FRP) Property?

In 2019, the city of San Antonio donated the $5.5 million piece of land located over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone to help protect the aquifer and our ...agency holds the lease for the property. The FRP is a hub for groundwater-related sustainability and aquifer behavior research where our staff are demonstrating and evaluating various land management practices and their potential effects on aquifer sustainability.

But that's not all, the EAC also administers transportation grants for schools to visit the EAA Education Outreach Center, and provides groundwater conservation grant matching funds for installation of improved irrigation efficiency equipment.
