Nature Center Notes

Bison have been moved to our Central pasture and can be viewed from Buffalo Road.

The western portion of Riverbottom Trail is closed

Last week at Pre-School Discovery Club, we talked about aquatic insects. This Friday (April 27), we will focus on the river where they can be found. For more information, call the Hardwicke Interpretive Center at (817) 392-7410.

Our mission is to enhance the quality of life by enrolling and educating our community in the preservation and protection of natural areas while standing as an example of these same principles and values in North Central Texas.
