| Ribbon Walk Nature Preserve[14] [Trail Map] |
| One of the newest county nature preserves with over 200 acres of natural woodlands, Ribbon Walk Nature Preserve lies largely untouched and unnoticed just minutes away from center
Charlotte, NC. |
| RibbonWalk Urban Forest is a showcase
for indigenous plants including an extraordinary grove of old-age
beech trees recently designated as a 'treasure tree grove' by
the Charlotte Treasure Tree Committee. Some of these slow growing
trees of impressive stature are over 200 years old. |
Although our chapter has only just begun developing a bird list for this property the variety of habitats indicates the list will become substantial. One can expect most of the type piedmont species and fall migration has produced some nice flocks of warblers including chestnut-sided, magnolia, redstart, hooded, pine and golden-wing. |
