Our state insect...The Praying Mantis sits quietly camouflaged waiting for its next meal. They are hard to spot, but look in meadows at Knox Preserve, Preston Nature Preserve, and Dodge Paddock to name a few. 📷 Beth Sullivan

Thanks to the great gang from Dominion Energy, we got a lot of trail work done, bridges and benches built, invasives removed. And thanks to JP Moore and some really big equipment we could get the big rock out of the middle of the entry way. #Paffardwoods #DominionEnergy #trailwork #buildingbridges

We love ALL of our furry friends, but please keep in mind there is a dog policy when visiting Avalonia's Preserves. Dogs must be on a leash no longer than seven (7) feet and under the control of their owner or keeper. The person responsible for the dog must hold the leash at all times... all dogs may be prohibited on any area or during any time when so posted by the Department. Read more on our website under OUR PRESERVES > DOG POLICY.
