Twelve Hills Nature Center is an urban preserve located in Oak Cliff. It serves as an outdoor classroom and passive recreational area. It seeks to educate both adults and children about environmental stewardship and community-building through the grassroots creation and maintenance of a native Texas blackland prairie and small wetland.
The Nature Center already has educational and walking trails as well as newly planted trees and newly installed birdhouses built by neighborhood scout troops. In the near future, efforts will begin to restore a native blackland prairie, additional educational trails, walking trails, outdoor learning spaces, butterfly garden, and several bird-watching blinds and boardwalks to create unobtrusive areas for teaching and observing wildlife in the Preserve.
The master plan has been designed through a partnership between the North Oak Cliff community and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
