Discover native Texas wildlife with HHS's TWRC Wildlife Center

We offer unique and engaging education programs with the help of our team of animal ambassadors. 

Supporting conservation through environmental education! With the help of our animal ambassadors, our team shares the benefits of coexisting with our wild neighbors, their roles in the urban ecosystem, and how to help wildlife in need. Our programs are specially-tailored to the age of the audience and are great for classrooms, scout groups, club meetings, and more!
