The Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection was established in 1938 by the late Dr. William B. Davis, founder of the Department of Wildlife Management (later Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences) at Texas A&M University. The collections within the TCWC serve as historical evidence of the distribution of wildlife in Texas, and provide valuable ecological and life history information for an array of vertebrate species. The collections are used in the research of Texas A&M faculty, graduate students, and scientists worldwide, as well as for the teaching of natural history, conservation and wildlife management, both within the university and in public schools. The collection is open for visitation Monday through Friday usually from 9 am till 4 pm. Please call in advance (979) 845-5783 to notify the curatorial staff of your arrival. The TCWC Nature Trail is open!
