Who We Are

Clear Creek Natural Heritage Center (CCNHC) is a gateway to more than 2,900 acres of bottomland hardwood forest, upland prairie, and diverse aquatic habitats. 

Located within Lake Lewisville's upper floodplain and managed by the City of Denton, it provides residents and visitors with unmatched ecological, educational, and recreational opportunities. Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area includes the confluence of Clear Creek and the Elm Fork of the Trinity River and was originally established to protect and restore rare bottomland and upland prairie ecosystems. The City leases the land from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and is responsible for operation and maintenance of Clear Creek Natural Heritage Area.

What We Do

The mission of CCNHC is to 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.

We could not do what we do without our hardworking volunteers. Clear Creek is designated as an official volunteer site by the Elm Fork Chapter Texas Master Naturalists. We look forward to welcoming you to Clear Creek for volunteer opportunities!
