The Valley Nature Center is a stunning six-acre park located in the Lower Rio Grande Valley area. It is home to a diverse range of native plants and animals. For over 35 years, the center has been actively transplanting plants from areas reserved for development to increase plant diversity, protect local species, and provide food and habitat for residents and migratory wildlife. The park features a one-mile trail where visitors can stroll and explore various native plant species, including the Sabal Palm Grove, Arroyo Colorado Brush, the Barretal, Coastal Lomas, and the Chihuahuan Thorn Forest. In addition, visitors can observe different species of animals, such as Malachite and Pixie butterflies, Plain Chachalacas, Great Kiskadees, Buff-bellied Hummingbirds, Texas Tortoises, Eastern Cottontail Rabbits, and numerous lizard and amphibian species.

The natural habitat along the Rio Grande is draped with agricultural fields full of a dove's favorite diet. This combination of water, cover, and forage creates an incredible dove concentration. Plan to join on the banks of the Rio Grande in the heart of Brownsville's dove-hunting zone – arguably the wealthiest dove-hunting terrain in the United States.
