Sponsors

Thank you!

The Valley Nature Center is an organization that exists because of been a dedicated group of individuals, business, and organizations who have come together for over 35 years to help fulfill our mission. Founding volunteers turned a "vacant lot" in the middle of Weslaco into what it is today. Without their vision, their hard work, and without the financial support of many, that vacant lot might well be the site of an apartment complex today. Instead it is a green gem in the middle of the city that is now playing a significant part in educating both residents and visitors about the South Texas native landscape and the rich assortment of wildlife that it supports. It is a safe place for kids and families to explore the wild!
