The Heard Family recently worked with the Cibolo to acquire property off Old San Antonio Road in Boerne. If you drive down the road, you will see a green sign with the Cibolo logo and will know this precious watershed land is protected in perpetuity thanks to the Cibolo and the Heard Family.
Richard Heard remembers exploring every square inch of his family’s land in Boerne as a child. In speaking of him and his siblings, Vicky and Tres, he says, “We were army brats, and in the summers, we would be shipped to El Nido to swim, play and explore everywhere.” This time in life shaped the future of the Heard children and would shape a critical decision they made in 2021.
Their father was Faulkner Heard, Jr., the son of Victoria Louise Herff and Faulkner Heard, Sr. This was a family tradition and legacy to come out to the ranch and bask in the sun, explore the wideopen spaces and bathe in the water of the Cibolo Creek. “This land was my playground,” Richard says. Last year a parcel of Heard family land along Old San Antonio Road had a for sale sign out front.
