An Important Message from Mary Ann

I am sure you were all expecting this, but I want to officially let you know that in keeping with the updated City of Houston and Harris County Stay-at-Home orders both Nature Discovery Center and the Harris County, Precinct 3 Bus Barn are cancelling the Senior’s Spring Migration Bird Trip to Anahuac & High Island. 
 
If you have any questions, please e-mail Mary Ann.
You can also check our website at https://naturediscoverycenter.org or our Facebook page for any other program or Nature Discovery Center updates.Birding alone is probably one of the best ways to get out and still practice social distancing!  Remember to stay at least 6 feet away from any other person, do not share binocs, scopes, bird books, or touch other peoples phones, etc.
Please take care and stay safe & healthy,
Mary Ann
