The Schob Nature Preserve is the perfect place to study the natural environment. The 7.44-acre property is a neighborhood park, a research site, and a classroom for Texas A&M students.
Texas A&M University is charged with the creation, preservation and management of the property as public parkland and a nature conservation area. The site is used to supplement classroom learning for various disciplines throughout the university.
The management of the parkland portion is shared between the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning (LAUP) in the School of Architecture and the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences.
