35th Anniversary Celebration
In 1974 Armand Bayou Nature Center Inc. and Harris County signed the landmark agreement that enables us to manage this valuable remnant of vanishing habitats and operate the nature center. All year long we will be celebrating the remarkable citizen initiative and political will that made such an agreement possible. Watch for announcements of special activities on Earth Day and new programs at the Center throughout the year.

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.
