We have created and maintained for several years this beautifully wooded natural area that is located behind the Texas Cotton Gin Museum in Burton. There is a grassed picnic area and table, a bat box and a wooden bridge to a nature area along Indian Creek which sometimes runs with a small waterfall. Our volunteer activities include mulching and maintaining the two trail systems, mowing, controlling invasive ligustrum, introducing natives, and looking after a terraced pollinator garden for the enjoyment of the community.
