Mission

To educate the public and provide research opportunities in the areas of water reuse, quality, and supply; wildlife conservation; and wetland systems.

About

In 2018 the JBS Wetland Center offered 145 programs serving 4,230 students and 44 programs serving 2,235 adults. Programs offered include these major areas; wetland ecology, plant ecology, bird adaptations and water conservation. Our programming is specifically marketed to Dallas ISD and 13-member cities and numerous independent school districts that the North Texas Municipal Water District serves. Each program is geared toward the Texas essential knowledge and skills giving students hands on experience in conducting field research and applying it to school-based studies. The programs also assist teachers in using the wetland as a demonstration model of how humans may have a positive impact on the environment. We believe this method helps students make sound environmental decisions and provides a frame of reference when choosing a science-based career path. Our programs are continually developed and improving using external review and input from teachers and researchers alike.
