Armand Bayou Nature Center

Armand Bayou Nature Center

Armand Bayou Nature Center is one of the biggest urban wilderness reserves in the United States, with 2500 acres of natural wetlands, woodland, marsh, and prairie habitats that were once plentiful along the Texas coast. Armand Yramategui, a conservation advocate and environmental visionary, created the Armand Bayou Nature Center in 1974 to safeguard the Armand Bayou estuary and adjacent wilderness from the urban development of the Houston-Galveston area. ABNC’s mission is to maintain, protect, and preserve the specific ecosystems under its responsibility.

A small staff and a large volunteer corps are committed to rebuilding habitat to pre-settlement conditions, preserving a heritage demonstration farm on the property, and using those resources to provide natural history and heritage education resources for school and family in the Houston-Galveston area. The ABNC is home to over 370 bird, mammal, reptile, and amphibian species. Boardwalks through woods and marsh areas, educational displays, parks, and walking trails are among the Center’s features; events feature canoe tours, a historic farm, hiking, birding, informative field trips, and Scout programs.
