Welcome to the Woodlands Nature Station, your gateway to encounters with the natural world. Our educators are here to guide you through the real web -- the web of life, which connects humans to nature and the environment.
You'll find a variety of natural experiences -- from our indoor discovery center to the live wildlife of our Backyard exhibits. Numerous trails embark from our center, too. Experience the outdoors at your leisure, or join one of our guided hiking or canoe excursions. Trips embark from the Nature Station throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Come outside and play!
