“This is the closest I've come to forgetting the city while still being relatively near the center of it. This preserve has done exactly what I imagine its founders set out to do: provide an untouched pocket of nature that can be enjoyed by people and animals alike.”

“This place is my sanctuary. When life gets crazy, I head over to this long-time favorite nature zone. And every visit there are many differences. Be it the color of the grasses or the sounds of birds or the flow of the river, there are things to be observed and awed. My kids and I love all the people that work and serve there, love their gift shop and checking in on the rescued animals. The alternating education displays are very informative without boredom. The kids and I can never get enough of Effie Yeaw.”
