Our Gwynedd Wildlife Preserve is a 279-acre oasis of meadows, woodlands, and wetlands nestled among the highly developed suburbs of Blue Bell and North Wales. After more than a century in agriculture, the preserve’s fields are being carefully restored. A walk along the trails reveals a re-emerging ecosystem of native flora including warm-season grasses and native wildflowers.

Highlights

	Over 5 miles of unpaved trails ranging from easy to moderate
	Grassland birds include Eastern Meadowlark, Northern Harrier, Eastern Bluebird, and Woodcock
	Animals include red fox and eastern flying squirrel
	Native grass meadows with big bluestem, little bluestem, and Indian-grass as well as native wildflowers such as New York ironweed, purple coneflower, and swamp milkweed
	Woodlands dominated by red oak, red ash, and red maple
