The Sabal Palm Grove Sanctuary covers an estimated 557 acres of land. This nature preserve is located in Brownsville, Tx on the edge of our Rio Grande River.
Being one of the last areas of the Valley to possess an abundant amount of Sabal Palms, it's also a main bird and butterfly watching venue. The sanctuary is a breeding habitat to many endangered birds. They've even created a live bird feeder cam!

This sanctuary is also home to the historic 1892 Rabb plantation house. The mansion, built by Frank and Lillian Rabb in 1891 functioned as a small self sufficient city during the steamboat era.
The Gorgas Science Foundation of Brownsville has presided over the land since and has created a visitor and education center.
