Our mission
The John Bunker Sands Wetland Center’s mission is to educate the public and provide research opportunities in the areas of water reuse, quality and supply; wildlife conservation; and wetland systems.
A unique public-private partnership
Located in the middle of the North Texas Municipal Water District’s East Fork Water Reuse Project, the John Bunker Sands Wetland Center is the result of a unique private-public partnership between The Rosewood Corporation and the Water District.
“The Aquatic Science Investigations program was one of the best experiences of my life … having access to those natural areas and professionals has helped me realize that I absolutely want to work in the environmental field.”
“What I enjoyed most about the Wetland Center was going out and actually being in nature. We weren’t looking at pictures, videos, or through a window at nature, but we were really in it.”
“The staff was phenomenal working with the youth. They learned so much about conservation and water usage … important teaching points in today’s world. The kids even helped in preparation of their meals over an outdoor cooker, which was a highlight! You know it’s been a great time when kids give a resounding ‘Can we go back next year?!'”
