The grass climb at Houston Arboretum s Nature Playscape.Â
We know, we know. Weâre always talking about how much we love the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, but beyond the goat landscaping services, the arborgator, the revamped Ravine Trail, and a master plan thatâs restoring the native prairie/savanna/woodland origins of this greenspace (buh-bye, invasive species) and providing new educational programming and experiences, thereâs yet another reason to adore it: The brand-new Nature Playscape.
Kids young and maybe even tween-ish will get a kick out of the new natural playground, which made its debut in May, generously supported by The Powell Foundation, W.T. and Louise J. Moran Foundation, and Phillips 66, with an additional in-kind contribution from ACT Pipe & Supply.Â

HOUSTON – The goats are back at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center this week.
Houstonians can take a trip up the North Meadow Trail to see between 120 to 150 goats grazing and eating dried grass at a distance.
The goats are from Rent-A-Ruminant, which provides an “eco-friendly” alternative to mowing unwanted vegetation, free of pesticides and commercial mowing.
In case you missed the news, the goats from Rent A Ruminant Texas are back on site grazing the Meadow. They’ll be here.Posted by Houston Arboretum & Nature Center on Monday, March 8, 2021
