Located on the western edge of Memorial Park, the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center offers an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and the opportunity to experience the natural world. This 155-acre urban nature sanctuary plays a vital role in protecting native plants and animals in the heart of the city where development threatens their survival. Conservation Director Stephen Benigno and Education Director Tiffany Ritter are with us to tell us more about the urban oasis in the heart of the city.
