The Baytown Nature Center is full of teaching opportunities, and almost nobody knows that better than the staff at the Eddie V. Gray Wetlands Center. Every year, they conduct the Wetlands Ecology Program for fifth-graders in Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District, and the Baytown Nature Center is prominent on the agenda. Each week, the staffers take groups of fifth-graders out to the Baytown Nature Center for activities like bird-watching and seining. It’s the perfect chance for kids to get up close and personal with nature.

Although the Wetlands Ecology Program is the only ongoing education program currently operating at the Baytown Nature Center, more programs are planned for the future. In the meantime, staff naturalist John Mason makes himself available by request to give group tours of the nature center. To find out more, click “Tours” at left.
