Guided Walk at Willow Lake Preserve |
Sunday, June 27 |
|
|
1:00pm - 2:00pm |
|
 The
Watershed maintains 2.4 miles of hiking trails in the wooded area
behind the 109-acre horse farm. Pastures and woodland provide
habitat for many species of birds, fox, deer, and coyotes, all of
which share this preserve with horses. WVWA has done extensive
stewardship work, working to replace the invasive species with
native trees and shrubs. This preserve was a gift from a family with
a deep love of the land and the creatures on it.
The walk is scheduled to end around
2:00pm, although it often runs longer. Parking is in the back of the
office complex located at the corner of Butler and Skippack Pikes. (Map) |
