Preserve Guidelines


Stay on trails.
This helps prevent erosion problems and protects delicate wildflowers and other plants from being trampled.

Take your trash with you when you leave.
As a non-profit with an extremely small staff, we are not able to maintain trash cans at our preserves.

Respect wildlife.
Please keep dogs on 6-foot long leashes at all times and do not allow them to chase wildlife. Even chipmunks deserve a break!

  • No bikes or horses due to erosion issues

  • No camping or fires

  • No fireworks
