Mission: The mission of the john bunker sands wetland center is to educate and provide research opportunities in the areas of water reuse, quality, supply; wildlife conservation; and wetland systems.
Programs: In 2017 the jbs wetland center offered 157 student programs attracting 3,862 4th grade - high school students. Our programs focus on four major areas; wetland ecology, plant ecology, bird adaptations and water conservation. Our programming is specifically marketed to dallas isd and 13 member cities and numerous independent school districts that the north texas municipal water district serves. Each program is geared toward the texas essential knowledge and skills giving students hands on experience in conducting field research and applying it to school-based studies. The programs also assist teachers in using the wetland as a demonstration model of how humans may have a positive impact on the environment. We believe this method helps students make sound environmental decisions and provides a frame of reference when choosing a science-based career path. Our programs are continually developed and improving using external review and input from teachers and researchers alike. In 2017 the jbs wetland center offered 30 adult programs attracting 2,744 adults. Our adult programs focus on regional environmental topics pertaining to water reuse and supply, wildlife species, the state of water in texas, and how to create and maintain sound conservation decisions around the home or workplace.
