The Nueces Delta Preserve is a part of the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program and it encompasses over 10,000 acres in the Lower Nueces River Valley adjacent to Nueces Bay. The Delta Preserve is one of the largest accessible wilderness areas near Corpus Christi. The Preserve is NOT a public park and access is restricted. Please contact the Preserve if you intend to visit.
The primary mission of the Nueces Delta Preserve is nature and science education. They host programs and field trips for all ages, preschool through collegiate – many for teachers. They have trails, boardwalks, classrooms, and a large outdoor pavilion.
More information on their programming and the role of volunteers can be found on their website or contact Kimberly Ogden at kogden@cbbep.org.
