Baytown Nature Center, Protected area in Baytown, Texas, US.
The 450-acre peninsula along the Houston Ship Channel features dense hardwood forests, tidal marshes, and wetlands surrounded by three bays.
The land transformed from Brownwood residential neighborhood to nature center after severe flooding from Hurricane Carla in 1961 and Hurricane Alicia in 1983.
The center conducts monthly Audubon Bird Surveys with Houston Audubon and offers educational programs about local environments and wildlife conservation.
Entry costs $4 for adults, $1 for children and seniors, with annual passes available at $30 for individuals and $65 for families.
The nature center houses 317 bird species and functions as a nursery for marine life, including shrimp, crab, and fish populations.
