Houston Arboretum and Nature Center, Nature sanctuary in Houston, United States.
The Houston Arboretum encompasses 155 acres of forested areas, wetlands, and grasslands with 5 miles of trails through different Texas ecosystems.
Founded in 1967, this educational center emerged from a municipal initiative to preserve native plants and wildlife within Houston's expanding urban landscape.
The center facilitates nature education through guided tours, workshops, and research programs that connect people with local plants and environmental conservation.
Entry to the grounds remains free daily from 7 AM until dusk, while the Nature Center operates from 9 AM to 4 PM with parking at 6 dollars.
Scientists collect data about local flora and fauna through ongoing research initiatives, contributing to regional biodiversity studies and environmental monitoring.
