About this museum

What is Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife?

The Rob and Bessie Welder Wildlife Foundation or Welder Wildlife Refuge was established by the will of Robert Hughes Welder in 1954 with a grant of 7,800 acres (31.5 km2) of prime wildlife habitat adjacent to the Aransas River in northern San Patricio County, Texas, approximately seven miles north-east of Sinton, Texas. The Foundation's ranch operations are supported by oil and gas royalties, cattle, interest on investments, and contributions. As a part of the will, the Foundation is required to maintain oil, cattle, and provide educational opportunities. The Foundation also provides fellowships to Master's and Ph.D. students in the natural resource field through an accredited university. As of 2024, the Foundation has funded more than 350 graduate students from 66 universities since 1956.
