Carter Creek Nature Trail

Explore the Carter Creek Nature Trail conveniently located across from the Museum entrance. This floodplain is home to numerous plant and animal species that can be seen from the trail.

The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History collaborated with
Boy Scout Troop 1222 and the City of Bryan to officially unveil a newly
created Carter Creek Nature Trail at the Brazos Center Park on December 9, 2009, at a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
Harvey Stewart III, Eagle Scout Candidate formally unveiled the new
trail created as his Eagle Scout Project.

The creation of this new
trail allows the Museum to expand its outdoor education offerings. “We are proud of the beautiful trail and botanical markers that
Harvey has produced,” notes Dr. Cowman, executive director of the
Museum. “This project has been the result of hours of careful planning
and labor by Harvey and the City of Bryan. And this is just the
beginning. We hope to encourage other Eagle Scout Candidates to
continue to add to the trail and to create new interpretative materials
to enhance it.”
