River Bend Nature Center

River Bend has been connecting the public to the natural environment of North Texas for more than 20 years.  Last year, more than 48,000 children and adults were educated, enlightened and entertained by our exhibits, programs and activities. Of the visitors to RBNC, 45% were from outside of Wichita Falls including all 50 states and 42 countries.  River Bend is truly a treasure for our community and schools.

Proceeds from River Bend’s programs and events fund only a third of our operating needs.  The remaining operating needs are met through charitable and educational grants and through contributions from our supporters – like you!  Your financial support ensures that we can:

• Bring programs to thousands of children in STEM/STEAM, Eco-Kits, RBNC camps, Field Trips, Sustainable Resources, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Science Saturdays, Creature Feature, Ecology, and daily visitation
• Maintain and replenish our exhibits, including over 100 live animals and insects, butterflies for Peyton’s Place, chrysalis cabinet, conservatory pond and animal habitats
• Maintain our #1 rating for Wichita Falls attractions on TripAdvisor, where we received the certificate of excellence and our preferred status for the AAA tour book
• Continue our community events – ElectriCritters, Dallas Zoo at RBNC, Bug Fest and Not-So-Scary Halloween
