Set amid a working cattle ranch and an expansive wetland on the East Fork of the Trinity River, the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center is a nature center, an educational destination for teachers, a birder’s paradise and photographer’s dream, and a serene escape to nature like no other in North Texas.
