Our Vision
To preserve a living legacy for future generations.

Our Mission
To preserve and enhance land along the Trinity River and its tributaries as an extraordinary recreational, educational and natural resource.

Our Philosophy of Preservation
River Legacy Parks should be preserved, managed and restored in a manner that protects the Parks’ reservoir of biological diversity. Natural areas must be carefully managed for long-term preservation to ensure the legacy of the land for future generations.

Our Philosophy of Education
Learning is a dynamic process in which individuals actively construct meaning in an attempt to make sense of the world around them. The educational experiences provided by the staff of River Legacy Foundation afford individuals the opportunity to deepen their understandings of the environment and their relationship to it. It is our hope, moreover, that these educational experiences will also serve to inspire a sense of wonder, foster a sensitivity to and an appreciation for the natural world; encourage the development of an environmentally literate and concerned citizenry; and promote environmental stewardship.

Our Philosophy of Recreation
Recreational activities within River Legacy Parks should support the Foundation’s mission of preservation and not endanger the environmental integrity of the Parks or the safety of park users. Potential activities must be measured against a nature standard, as well as an urban standard.
