Hoffler Creek

Take a stroll around Lake Ballard and beyond with local birding experts (or by yourself) to identify birds in the area by sight and sound before the preserve opens to the public. Bring binoculars or spotting scope for best viewing.​​

Help us maintain the Preserve's trails and common areas! Come ready to remove invasive plants, rake, prune, pull weeds, and sweep. We appreciate our volunteers, and your help goes a long way toward allowing others to enjoy the natural wonders here!

​

Local tree expert D.W. Coble will lead a tour through the Preserve to showcase the vibrant colors of Fall. Don't miss this chance to learn more about the trees that line the trails as they prepare for the cold weather D.W. will cover identification techniques, biological information, and more!

Join us during one of our monthly classes to do just that! In addition to learning basic techniques, we will review the well-documented medical evidence that meditation practice reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and actually slows the aging process.

Join us for a tour with tree expert DW Coble to learn how our local flora spends the winter. Our guide will cover evergreen trees, dormant vegetation, and identification techniques for deciduous trees that have lost their leaves. ​
