Nevis (50.4 km)
Nevis is a 367-acre site featuring a mix of grasslands, wetlands, aspen stands, and reclaimed gas plant areas. The property supports a diverse range of plant species, including brittle-prickly pear cactus in drier areas, and willows, prairie rose, and goldenbean in wetter spots. Birdwatchers can spot the Canada Goose, Mallard, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Killdeer, Wilson's Snipe, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and LeConte's Sparrow. Vegetation includes trembling aspen, balsam poplar, lodgepole pine, lilac, and prairie smoke. The site is accessed via a path leading to an oil lease, though tall grass in the summer can make walking challenging.
