"I go to nature to be soothed and healed,
and to have my senses put in order"
American Naturalist John Burroughs
1837 -1921
Redbud Nature Preserve is under relocation on the shore of Lake Lanier on the historic site of American Legion Post 7
to serve the community with access to leisure recreation for human health and wellness and nature education for conservation of the environment.
Eco-friendly walking trails will windthrough ecosystems of oak-hickory-pine, wetlands and prairie with access to leisure recreation in nature. Pileated woodpeckers and barred owls flourish among the oaks and hickories. Wildflowers and butterflies flourish in the prairie meadows. Presence of Native American Cherokees with bent trees and sacred spots add to the spirit of the Preserve.
Interpretive signs along the trails and in kiosks will open the mind
and eye to nature’s beauty
and mysteries that survive
the hands of man. Nature is present for all ages, physical abilities, interests and income in the proposed Re-Creation Refuge.
