Houston Audubon Society
Houston Audubon Society (HAS) is “spreading its wings”
a little closer into Houston.
Sims Bayou Urban Nature Center (SBUNC) will become the Nature
Education Center for Houston Audubon Society. They are excited
to obtain this facility to better reach more children and
adults with their fun, hands on Nature Education programs.
The SBUNC has a peaceful, country-like setting only minutes
from downtown Houston. Situated in historic Park Place on
the original channel of Sims Bayou, the Nature Center’s
log cabin, barn, 100-year old wagon and gazebo give the property
a rustic, homey look. The vegetable and butterfly gardens,
bird blind, ponds, and wetland trails offer great opportunities
to explore and experience nature in an urban landscape. |
