Help Write the Next Chapter of the Hill Country.

Your contribution does more than protect the land—it builds a legacy.

Albert and Bessie Kronkosky gave the land. The State of Texas manages it. But it is your support that turns these 3,800 acres into a sanctuary. When you donate, you aren't just giving money; you are fulfilling a 1946 promise to keep this land wild, forever.

Make a Donation

A 1946 Promise, Kept by You.

Most of the Texas Hill Country is disappearing into rooftops and pavement. ABK SNA is different. When the Kronkoskys donated this land, they did so with a vision: that it would remain unworked, ungrazed, and undisturbed.

Our mission at the Friends of ABKSNA is to support the development and preservation of the Albert & Bessie Kronkosky State Natural Area. However, we cannot do it without your help! While the state provides the foundation, your support builds the bridge between a "property" and a "sanctuary." Please help us grow the natural area and provide the best possible experience for future guests by donating today.
