Picnicking
One large group picnic shelter is available for visitors
near the main parking area. Small family
groups may also choose to sit at tables in the
screened area of the auditorium building. Both
areas are available on a first-come, first-served
basis. Help us keep them enjoyable for all visitors
by cleaning up and depositing trash in nearby trash
receptacles. Please help us maintain a sustainable
facility by using recycling receptacles provided
for aluminum cans and #1 and #2 plastics.

beverages, glass containers, pets and smoking are
not permitted in the Preserve.
Restrooms
Public restrooms are available during Preserve
hours and are located
in the classroom building. Public restrooms
in the exhibit hall and auditorium are accessible
during normal Center
hours.
Parking
The parking area is located approximately one mile
from the main entrance off Keystone Road. Please
help keep our wildlife safe by observing the 15 MPH
speed limit. The road to and from the parking
area is a one-way scenic loop. Parking is available
for cars and buses. Bus parking is located
at the south end of the parking lot alongside the
main roadway. In addition, handicap parking
spaces are available in the main parking area and
in the delivery/handicap parking loop.
Please avoid parking alongside the road or on the
grass (except when designated as overflow parking).
Local wildlife, like the gopher tortoise, often use
the shoulders of roads and grassy areas as travel
corridors between different habitats. Help us keep
them safe by parking only in the designated areas.
The Preserve's gate automatically closes and overnight parking is not allowed. Preserve and
trail closing times are clearly posted on signs at
the Preserve entrance and trailheads. The license
plate tags of any vehicle left in the parking lot
after closing hours will be noted by local enforcement
authorities.
