Twelve Hills Nature Center
Commonly known as Twelve Hills to neighbors, it’s a five-acre urban preserve located at 817 Mary Cliff Road in North Oak Cliff not far from the Bishop Arts District. It’s a 501(C)3 nonprofit and is operated by volunteers. Created on a site where rundown apartments once stood, Twelve Hills is a place where neighbors can enjoy a walk though a prairie area, where local schools can visit an outdoor classroom, and where the community can learn about nature and environmental stewardship through volunteering and through public nature walks.
Twelve Hills partners with North Texas Master Naturalists and Rosemont Elementary School to bring nature programs to Rosemont students. The beautiful entrance includes a large garden of native plants that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. The improved habitat is an oasis in the center of Dallas, providing shelter and food for migrating and resident birds, monarchs and other butterflies and wildlife. Public nature walks, activities for preschool children and other events are announced on the Twelve Hills Facebook page, on the Nextdoor Oak Cliff, and through online blogs and e-mail lists.
