  • Twelve Hills Nature Center

    Twelve Hills Nature Center is committed to fostering conservation ethics through the restoration of the Blackland Prairie and nature education. The center boasts a welcoming entrance with a butterfly garden vibrant with native plants and a gathering area equipped with stone benches for observing nature's beauty. The nature trails offer a unique glimpse into the variety of native wildflowers, trees, and wildlife that inhabit the area. Active efforts to restore native plants, with contributions from local students and volunteers, are pivotal to the center's mission.

    What sets Twelve Hills Nature Center apart is its distinctive rolling terrain, contrasting the predominantly flat landscape of its surroundings. This topography, along with Coombs Creek's presence, enhances the habitat and biodiversity of the area. Its proximity to local schools and residential neighborhoods makes it an invaluable resource for educating over 3,500 students and the community about environmental stewardship. This accessible location, coupled with its manageable size, makes it an ideal place for urban residents to connect with nature and learn about conservation efforts.
