River Legacy Nature Center

The River Legacy Nature Center is an amazing resource of environmental education for children as young as 3 years old to families simply looking to spend time together outdoors. Our environmental education programs, engaging exhibits, and community festivals expose children and their families to the wonders of nature and their place in it. Through education, conservation, and recreation we help preserve the Trinity River and its unique ecosystem.
