Welcome to the

Armand Bayou Nature Center

Experience first hand how Armand Bayou Nature Center (ABNC) is working to preserve the wetlands prairie, forest and marsh habitats surrounding Armand Bayou. Visit this astonishingly beautiful part of the Texas Gulf Coast and "reconnect with nature". Visitors can learn about our plant and animal inhabitants, bird-watch, hike on the Nature Center's trails or view our live animal displays of snakes, spiders, hawks and bison. A visit to the Center's Martyn Farm will take you back in time to late 1800's farm life in Texas. Before you leave, make reservations to see the beauty of Armand Bayou on the "Bayou Ranger", an electric pontoon boat, or in a guided canoe tour.

EcoExplorations in July

Experience the prairie and coastal woodlands like you never have before! Two VERY special activities this summer.

Prairie Night Ride

Friday, July 23 at 8:00PM Join us for an evening of prairie adventure!  As the heat of the day cools, prairie wildlife begins to emerge under the deep Texas night sky.  From the elevated view of a hayride, we will explore the sights and sounds of the transforming prairie landscape.  With the aid of a powerful spotlight, your expert guides will interpret the prairie's beauty, wildlife and ecology.  Sightings may include deer, armadillos, rabbits, raccoons and more.  Space is limited to 15 people; reservations are required.

Owl Prowl

Saturday, July 24 at 8:00PM. See the wilderness at night!  Follow our expert guides on a beautiful evening walk through the coastal hardwood forest at ABNC to look for owls and listen to fascinating night sounds.
