Our key initiative is to educate the next generation of environmental stewards using the resources of River Legacy Park and River Legacy Nature Center. Starting with children as young as 3 years old, our environmental education programs expose children to the wonders of nature and their place in it. Through education, we preserve the Trinity River and its unique eco-system.
