Nice for a neighborhood stroll

Karsts
Here's what the preserve is for. Karsts are caves that feed right into aquafers. Pollution allowed to enter karsts can easily end up in someone's drinking water.

Comments: This very small preserve is intended to protect the numerous cave openings found here. The crushed granite trail is short and easy. My main reason for visiting this day was to find caches in the area.
