BROWNSVILLE (October 23, 2009)--A South Texas nature preserve won't reopen as scheduled this fall after spending more than a year in limbo because of plans to build a border fence.

The Sabal Palm Audubon Center was a popular destination for bird watchers and home to a rare native stand of Sabal palms along the Rio Grande.

But the Brownsville Herald reports Friday that the center will remain closed at least through the end of the year.

The border fence, which isolates the preserve between the river and the fence, continues to create uncertainty, but Audubon Texas Executive Director Bob Benson says the more immediate problem is a lack of funding.
