  • Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve

    Cedar Ridge Preserve spans 600 acres and is distinguished from traditional parks by its commitment to conserving natural ecology. Offering about 9 miles of trails, the preserve is a haven for native plants, wildlife including various mammals, birds, and insects, alongside butterfly gardens and limited picnic spaces. Unlike parks, Cedar Ridge prioritizes the protection and restoration of natural habitats, limiting certain recreational activities to prevent environmental degradation. The preserve relies on volunteers, donors, and visitors for maintenance, providing a unique opportunity for public engagement with nature conservation efforts.
