What's a Nature Preserve Anyway?

What exactly is a nature preserve, and why does it matter? Join Bethany O'Hagan, Stewardship & Rewilding at Everwild Land Trust, for an engaging introduction to the role nature preserves play in protecting wildlife, native habitats, and the natural beauty of Chautauqua County.

Learn about Everwild Land Trust's mission to conserve the region's forests, wetlands, streams, and open spaces, while creating opportunities for people to connect with nature through recreation, education, and stewardship. Whether you're new to Everwild or a longtime supporter, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the work being done to protect the places that make Chautauqua County unique.
