Itinerary:


 

We will meet at Medlock Park next to the pool and will head to the Preserve and back (going through WoodTrail and return through Gaylmont Circle). We will make two loops around the Preserve to use the different trails and say hellow to the goats! 

Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, a 28 acre wildlife sanctuary hidden in the corner of Medlock Park neighborhood in Decatur.  Located in a floodplain, the park contains wetlands, mature trees and other diverse habitats which attract wildlife, including (but not limited to) beavers, foxes, and many species of birds.

The preserve contains several easy trails with almost no elevation gain. I estimate it to be a 1.5 mile walk each way to the Preserve.

Because the trails traverse wetlands, we may have to walk through a few muddy areas.  Therefore, please wear footwear appropriate for such circumstances.
