Join Ohio Division of Natural Areas & Preserves Regional Manager Michelle Comer to explore this mature woodland. It was named in honor of the Davey Tree Expert Company, which provided The Nature Conservancy with half the necessary funding for acquiring the property in 1989. It has numerous large tulip trees, sugar maples, and oaks as well as an excellent array of spring wildflowers. The rolling topography of this site is indicative of glacial moraine deposited after the last glacial event. The preserve totals 103 acres, with about 90 acres of old-growth forest. It was inducted into the Old-Growth Forest Network in 2021. This is a moderate walk with hilly terrain. Total distance: about 1.5 miles

Note: There are just 4 or 5 parking spaces available outside of the gate. However, the gate will be open for our guided hike. Enter and drive back on the grassy lane to the parking area in the clearing.
