All trails are now open to the public. A temporary fence has been installed around the site to protect the young plants as they establish themselves. When visitors stray from the trail, they may accidentally step on these delicate plants, which can put them at risk.

Walking off the path also compacts the soil, making it more difficult for roots to grow and for water to reach the plants. The fence will remain in place for about a year to ensure the plants get a strong start. Once it is removed, we kindly ask everyone to stay on the trail to help keep our new plantings safe and healthy!
