West Branch Nature Preserve permanently protects 90 acres of wetland and surrounding habitat in Davidson. As we celebrate our trails this week, we are highlighting a trail that is particularly special to us. The wetland trail is dedicated to Roy Alexander, our first Executive Director who was a committed advocate for conservation, including playing an instrumental role in the permanent protection of WBNP. Haven't visited this gem yet? We recommend parking at 18150 Shearer Road for the quickest access from the West Branch Rocky River Greenway. Turn right at the fork in the greenway and you'll soon find the start of a single-track dirt path that leads to the wetland trail. Don't forget your binoculars, this is a wonderful place to see unique birds and other wildlife!

Are you ready for National Trails Day? We'll be highlighting Davidson's trails all week to give you ideas for how to celebrate. Join us at Fisher Farm this Wednesday from 5:30 to 7:00 to show our trails some love in preparation for the big day. We'll be blazing hiking trails, getting ready to install new signs, and doing some light trail cleanup. Please register for the workday at the events link in our bio, and we'll see you on the trails!

Join us for the next installation of our new Library Workshop Series! Register at the link in our bio to join us at the Davidson Public Library for a workshop, lunch, and a short nature walk to practice using field guides and field guide apps.
