Background and Discussion:
ABNC is one of the largest urban wilderness preserves in the U.S., with 3,947 acres of natural wetlands, forest,
prairie, and marsh habitats that provide crucial ecosystem services like flood mitigation and water purification.
ABNC offers year-round educational programs for all ages, hiking trails, live animal exhibits, field trips, Scout programs, birding, and a historic farm, making Armand Bayou one of the most desirable educational and
recreational destinations in the state. Through preservation and education, our mission is to reconnect people with nature. We could not accomplish that mission without the generous support of friends and partners like

Continued programs and outdoor recreation opportunities for Harris County residents and visitors.
