Wildcat Bluff Nature Center

Our 2024 Landscape Rehydration focus is on Wildcat Bluff Nature Center - a section of land on the NW side of Amarillo containing a lengthy stretch of West Amarillo Creek with significant ecological & cultural heritage sites. Much thanks to The Don Harrington Discovery Center who share our passion for education in applied natural science to regenerate our agricultural lands, attain a just transition to sustainable agroecokogy and to rehydrate the landscape that sustains the communities which dot the southern & central Great Plains.

“We can’t live without water, it is impossible for humans to live without water and it’s impossible for animals. The future is not set in stone; we can make changes today that will have an impact later down the line.”
