About Dogwood Canyon
 Located 16 miles south of downtown Dallas in Cedar Hill, Dogwood Canyon is part of the White Rock Escarpment. Nowhere in North Texas can one find a greater variety of rare species than in Dogwood Canyon. Plants and animals from east, west and central Texas converge here, making the Canyon the only place in the world where one can find the Black-chinned hummingbird of west Texas nesting in the flowering dogwood tree of east Texas.
Audubon has embarked on a campaign to acquire approximately 270 acres of wildlife habitat in the Canyon and build an education center with hiking trails. The Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center will open in 2009, and will provide science education initially to 5,000 4th grade students (on an annual basis) from the surrounding DFW Metroplex.
