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 Don Harrington Discovery Center who share our passion for education in (applied) natural sciences, to regenerate our agricultural lands, attain a just transition to sustainable agroecology and to rehydrate the landscape that sustains the communities which dot the southern & central Great Plains.
