Nature Tours at Five Mile Woods Preserve
The Friends of Five Mile Woods will offer nature walks at the Five Mile Woods nature preserve on Sunday, September 20 starting at 12 noon until 3:30 p.m. Participants will experience signs of fall and learn about plants and animals that make Five Mile Woods their home. All ages are welcome. Stroll on our new 700-foot accessible boardwalk. Other walking is on trails with uneven surfaces. Please wear sturdy walking shoes that can get muddy.
Five Miles Woods is a 300-acre nature preserve in Lower Makefield Township. It is primarily wooded and contains a section of the Fall Line, where the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions meet. The Preserve gives residents a chance to connect with nature close to home.
Five Mile Woods, often called a hidden gem, was highlighted in the Lower Makefield Play for All Plan after residents indicated that conservation and sustainability were preferred ways to spend money. In addition, Five Mile Woods was highlighted as part of the ADA transition Plan written by the Township to create opportunities for accessibility within the Preserve.
Tours begin at Woods Headquarters, 1305 Big Oak Road in Lower Makefield Township near the Kohl’s shopping center
