Mission

Inspire environmental citizenship through an understanding of the natural heritage of north central Texas by providing nature experiences, education and research programs, and conservation and restoration projects.

Vision

The Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center will:

  • Promote environmental citizenship
  • Provide a place for people to interact and connect with nature
  • Be a model of integrated learning for environmental, outdoor and experiential learning
  • Provide a leading example of conservation and ecosystem restoration projects
  • Be an educational, recreational and cultural resource for all people

The CCNHC serves as a gateway to the approximately 2900 acres comprised of rare bottomland habitat, surprisingly diverse flora and fauna, all surrounding the confluence of Clear Creek and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River.

 

The City of Denton is updating the Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center Master Plan to incorporate new ideas, policies, and programs to further enhance and celebrate the natural heritage of Denton. The updated plan will support existing and expanding education, restoration, recreation, and sustainability programming at CCNHC. The Draft Plan Update can be reviewed HERE.
