Updated June 30, 2020 at 5:00pm CT: In order to protect the health and well-being of our staff, volunteers, and visitors and to help stop the spread of COVID-19, Trinity River Audubon Center and our trails are currently closed. We are working on a reopening plan and hope to share that with you soon! Please follow us on Facebook for virtual content and updates regarding our re-opening.
If you would like to enjoy a nature experience, the AT&T trail is still open. You can find a map here.
If you are stuck indoors and need a birdy distraction, here is a beautiful page filled with Audubon’s favorite bird photos, videos, and stories.
While we are practicing social distancing and staying at home, please check here for updated content. Why not enjoy some online activities or learn some birding skills? We will continue to post updated content on our YouTube and Facebook channels. Also, check out fun and educational activites at Audubon for Kids, available in both Spanish and English! There is a new bird-related theme each week with activities for kids of all ages.

Trinity River Audubon Center is located just ten miles south of downtown Dallas, but you'll feel a world away. Our center is your gateway to explore the amazing resources of the 6,000-acre Great Trinity Forest, the largest urban hardwood forest in the United States. Get to know a diverse community of plant and animal species and our unique mixture of bottomland hardwood forest, wetland, and prairie habitat. A part of the City of Dallas-Trinity River Corridor Project, the center's 130 acres sit on a former illegal dump site, now a reclaimed haven for a vast array of birds and other wildlife in an increasingly urbanized metropolitan area.
As part of the National Audubon Society, Trinity River Audubon Center is a nonprofit organization, which means supporting us by visiting, telling a friend, or becoming a member helps to educate tens of thousands of North Texas students about science, conservation, and the ecosystems in which they live. Checkout our events, sign up for a class, or simply drop by for a hike.
Trinity River Audubon Center is a nonprofit organization supported, in part, by funds from the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department.
