The 3B Outdoor Learning Center is a conservation-based environmental education facility located in Katy, TX that transforms multiple acres of restored Texas Gulf Coast prairie, bottomland woods, and ephemeral wetlands into a living classroom for students, families, educators, and the broader community. The center aims to preserve native ecosystems while providing immersive, TEKS-aligned environmental education experiences that celebrate conservation, sustainability, biodiversity, and Katy heritage. Through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, universities, conservation organizations, and local industries, 3B will become a regional model for outdoor learning and ecological stewardship.

The 3B Outdoor Learning Center includes:

Restored native prairie
Bottomland woodland habitat
Ephemeral wetlands
Walking trails
Outdoor classroom spaces
Native pollinator gardens
Wildlife observation areas
Educational signage and QR-guided learning stations
Sensory-friendly learning areas
Historical artifacts inside the landmark Fussell House
