Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center
Description: Located 16 miles south of downtown Dallas in Cedar
Hill, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. Nowhere in
North Texas can one find a greater variety of rare species than in
Dogwood Canyon. Plants and animals from east, west and central Texas
converge here, making the canyon the only place in the world where one
can find the Black-chinned Hummingbird of west Texas nesting in the
flowering dogwood tree of east Texas.
Audubon owns or
manages over 200 acres of nearly pristine wildlife habitat in the
canyon, and because the property neighbors university, county, and
state lands, it is part of a nearly 3,000 acre greenbelt in southwest
Dallas County.
We offer a variety of Scout badges,
animal encounters, hikes and kayaking programs
Cost/girl: $11-$15
