Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve Field Trip (Wake Forest)
Located in an oxbow of the Neuse River in northeast Raleigh, the nearly 146-acre Horseshoe Farm Nature Preserve is a unique jewel in the Raleigh Parks & Recreation system. The Preserve consists of upland fields, floodplain forests, wetlands, and the river. The NC Natural Heritage Program has designated the floodplain forest that surrounds Horseshoe Farm’s meadow as a Natural Heritage Natural Area. There are some seriously large trees there! Good birdwatching too. (photo and most of the description is from Wake Audubon’s page)
