Public Nature Preserves
ECWA’s five public nature preserves are part of a network of preserves and trails for hiking, biking, and walking from the Ellerbe Creek headwaters to Falls Lake. The preserves are a place for adults and children to enjoy the outdoors and the wonders of nature.

Volunteers are responsible for the care and stewardship of our preserves. They manage invasive species, tend to native plants, build and maintain trails, and much more. Each year, we host over 20 groups in workdays led by our staff and volunteer Preserve Stewards.
