The Edinburg Scenic Wetlands and World Birding Center (EWBC) is one of nine World Birding Center sites scheduled to open in the Rio Grande Valley. It is a 40 acre nature center seated at the western edge of the City of Edinburg's Municipal Park.

The area is composed of 2 large wetlands, a small canal, dragonfly pond, 2.5 miles of walking trails, and acres of butterfly gardens. EWBC plays home to many species of waterfowl, hummingbirds, and songbirds. In addition, our butterfly garden, planted entirely with native plants, is alive with many of the hundreds of butterfly species that inhabit the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

Our spacious Interpretive Center has several educational exhibits about birds, butterflies and dragonflies as well as an interactive computer program about the birds of North America. Birding outside or from indoors is easy as we have binoculars and spotting scopes for visitors to use.

The gift shop is brimming with books about anything from Texas mussels to the birds of Ecuador! We are happy to give presentations and tours of the grounds to interested groups.
