This 160-acre preserve contains a large percentage of the floodplain and drainage basin for Blues Creek and its tributaries, which crisscross the site. The ravine features of Blues Creek are steeply incised stream banks that create a dramatic setting and unique seepage slopes.

 

The preserve contains a number of important plant species such as the threatened crane-fly orchid and southern lady fern. The site also provides excellent habitat for several state listed species.

 

This will be a short walk along Blues Creek to check out the aftermath of Irma, look at native plants, discuss aspects of local stream geomorphology, and more.
