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.
Community Moments
“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.”
