Nice short walk thru a guided path to view native plants and read about the history of the land. The land was actually donated by a prominent lawyer. Watch out, there are red bugs everywhere. Just keep moving and you won't be affected. If you go during an open house there is education and a guide too.

A great little preserve right in the middle of Columbia. The trail is relatively short and hilly, but there is lots to see. Plaques along the way tell about the different biomes represented and give a great history of the area. Almost all the trees and plants were labeled as well. Really nicely done!
