Oso Bay Coastal Environmental Learning Center

Summary

The City of Corpus Christi will build a learning center that will serve as a regional site for coastal environmental education in Corpus Christi.  A conservation easement has been put in place, that protects the acquired property and specifically allows for the construction of the Learning Center. The center will include:  exhibition space; two multi-purpose rooms that can be used for additional exhibition space or classrooms; a wetlab designed for use by area schools and community groups; and the design and production of environmental education exhibits. The Learning Center will be located at the entry to the Oso Bay Wetland Preserve, and linked to two miles of nature trails, interpretative sites, wildlife viewing stations, and areas undergoing active restoration.
