We are a non-profit, 501 (c) (3) citizen-based organization. Our mission is to provide public support for the Preserve through fund raising, volunteer programs, and education to ensure that the Preserve remains a natural wilderness for future generations.
Come see this male pileated woodpecker excavate a new cavity just a few feet off the Ed Center trail where the trail crosses the swamp. You will recognize the site by all the wood shavings he has tossed to the ground below!
