This scenic preserve includes creeks, woodlands, prairie, meadow and wetland habitats that support a variety of resident and migratory wildlife. A raised observation deck offers views of the prairie while trails meander through the woods, meadows, creeks and wetlands. Joe Dumyahn, Environmental Projects Coordinator for MetroParks of Butler County will be our guide for this outing.
