The I-20 Wildlife Preserve & Jenna Welch Nature Study Center 2201 South Midland Drive, Midland, TX 79703

"Just met a man named West. He introduced himself to me on my walk out. Don’t know why but it made my day, and if I can I will definitely volunteer. Maybe it’s just what I was looking for. Things happen that way. Thanks West."

"Using my trails app, I see there use to be a lake that the path went around. But no water now. Just flowers, weeds, grass. So using the various bird blinds did not help see anything. The trail is nice with dirt or boardwalk. I did see a few birds, lizards, and butterflys. The trail is a complete circle. 1.5 mile trail. Look for verdins inthe trees between entrance and trail fork area."

"It is beautiful and so incredibly lovely to have a spot dedicated to nature. The pathways are very enjoyable to walk on, and there are lookouts along the way so you can spy on birds. We did encounter a snake on the pathway, but it did not attack as we walked by (see if you can spot it in my photos). “They are more afraid of us than we are of them” lol just repeat that mantra and hope it’s true if you encounter the same. Or run the opposite direction, the choice is yours. My only main complaint is that it’s so close to the highway that the sounds ruin the atmosphere a bit. It’s not as fun to enjoy nature when the rumbling vehicles remind you that we are slowly destroying our air quality."

"Awesome place to take portraits and hike. This place almost transports you to the Texas Hill country with all the trees and flowers, right here in West Texas."

"The Wildlife Pressure was suggested to us by a friend and I am glad we finally made time to come walk the trail. We come out to Midland and Odessa every few months and I have never seen so much greenery in the area! It is beautiful! They had ample signs about closing times and wildlife cautions. The entire family had fun on the trail and it was very easy to walk. We will definitely be going back."
