About this organization
Mission
The mission of Armand Bayou Nature Center (ABNC) is twofold: to preserve the habitats with which we have been entrusted and to provide opportunities for people to experience and understand the local ecosystem. Through preservation and education we strive to reconnect people to nature.
About
Stewardship: ABNC is one of the largest urban wilderness preserves in the nation, conserving one of the most extensive holdings of coastal tallgrass prairie in the lower Galveston Bay watershed. Currently, over 900 acres are actively managed within our preserve boundaries. Critical prairie habitat is annually being restored and then preserved through controlled burns and mowing to reduce invasive species and replanting native grasses and forbs propagated in our native plant nursery. More recently, ABNC has assumed management of a 24-acre tract that specifically protects the endangered prarie dawn flower species. Additionally, ABNC manages over 330 acres of Texas state coastal preserve in the Armand Bayou watershed, restoring intertidal marsh to maintain appropriate water depth and encourage native plant and animal recolonization.
