# Motte Rimrock Reserve

The Motte Rimrock Reserve, a unit of the University of California Natural Reserve System affiliated with the University of California, Riverside, is an ecological reserve and biological field station located on a small plateau overlooking the Perris Valley in west-central Riverside County, California, United States.

## Location

The reserve is located on 736 acres (2.98 km$^2$) at an elevation of 1,580 feet (482 m) ASL, northwest of the city of Perris. Much of the land of the Motte Rimrock Reserve was donated to the University of California in 1976 by Charles and Ottie Motte. Numerous parcels have been added since.

## Ecology

The Motte Rimrock Reserve contains large areas of open grassland, coastal sage scrub, willow riparian woodland, and rocky outcrops that support a diversity of plant and animal species. The reserve harbors a mixture of both coastal and inland species and owes its diversity to its location equidistant between the Pacific Ocean and the Mojave Desert. The reserve also possesses a rich cultural history including some recognized archeological sites. Current on-going research projects include studies on the population dynamics of small mammals, ant behavior, plant-insect interactions, and habitat restoration.

## Wildlife

As the surrounding area experiences rapid urbanization, the reserve serves to protect a number of species threatened or endangered by development and habitat loss including Stephens' kangaroo rat, the California gnatcatcher, orange-throated whiptail, and Bell's Sparrow, as well as several diminishing plant communities such as riversidean sage scrub. The reserve is an active participant in the Riverside County Habitat Conservation Agency (RCHCA) a joint powers authority created to protect and preserve the Stephens' kangaroo rat.
The director of the reserve is Kenneth J. Halama, PhD, an ecologist and conservation biologist.
# Mystic River Reservation

The Mystic River Reservation is a publicly owned nature preserve with recreational features located along the Mystic River in the towns of Winchester, Arlington, Medford, Somerville, Everett, and Chelsea in eastern Massachusetts. The reserve is part of the nearly 76-square-mile (200 km$^2$) Mystic River watershed. It is managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.

## History

The reservation was established in 1893 by the newly formed Metropolitan Parks Commission (later renamed the Metropolitan District Commission), making it one of the first official nature preserves in Massachusetts, and one of five designed by the commission in that year. Of these five, three were planned as woodland river reservations: the Mystic River Reservation, Charles River Reservation, and Neponset River Reservation. The Mystic River Reservation originally comprised a little over 250 acres (100 ha) of land. By the early 20th century, most of the land along the Mystic River in Medford, Arlington, and Somerville had become public (i.e. state-owned) land.
In 2010, the DCR unveiled a plan for restoring and preserving the reservation, called the Mystic River Master Plan. Proposed projects included a partnership between the DCR and the City of Medford to restore the Condon Shell (an outdoor amphitheater located just outside Medford Square); restoration of the Amelia Earhart Dam basin parklands; and a $3.6 million federally funded link between the reservation, the Minuteman Bikeway, and the Alewife "T" Station. The lower parkland is being redeveloped as part of Assembly Square construction.
In 2019, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts funded a feasibility study for the Mystic to Charles Connector Path linking the southern end of the bicycle and pedestrian paths in the reservation (near Sullivan Square) to the Somerville Community Path, for connections to the Charles River Bicycle Path and downtown Boston. Reconstruction of Draw Seven Park is expected to last from late summer 2024 to 2026.

## Activities and amenities

Facilities for field sports, picnicking, cycling, and sailing are found at four riverside parks: Draw Seven Park in Somerville, Torbert MacDonald Park in Medford, the Mystic Lakes in Winchester, Arlington, and Medford, and Mary O'Malley Waterfront Park in Chelsea.
# North Carolina Botanical Garden

The North Carolina Botanical Garden is a botanical garden operated by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The primary goal of the Garden is to research, catalog, and promote the native plant species of North Carolina.

## History

The history of the Garden begins in 1903, when Professor William Chambers Coker began planting trees and shrubs on the central campus (now Coker Arboretum). In 1952, the Trustees of the university dedicated 70 acres (280,000 m$^2$) forested for development of a botanical garden. An additional 103 acres (0.42 km$^2$) were donated by William Lanier Hunt. Considerable additions and expansion of the Garden took place from the 1960s onward. A recent expansion effort is the James and Delight Allen Education Center, designed by architect Frank Harmon, the first LEED Platinum certified state-owned building or public museum in North Carolina.

## The Garden today

Today the Garden comprises 14 collections and display gardens, containing some 5,900 accessions representing about 2,500 species of the 4,700 plant species known to be native or naturalized in North and South Carolina. It has become one of the largest native plant botanical gardens in the Southeastern United States. Admission is free. The Garden is open Tuesday through Sunday, with special educational programs offered regularly. Highlights of the Garden include:
* Battle Park, 90 acres (360,000 m$^2$) – forest land in the center of the Chapel Hill.
* Coker Arboretum
* The Fern Collection, containing Southeastern fern species.
* Horticultural Therapy Demonstration Garden – heirloom vegetables and flowers varieties in plantings designed for persons with limited mobility and reach.
* William Lanier Hunt Arboretum
* Mason Farm Biological Reserve, 367 acres (1.5 km$^2$) – natural area.
* Native Plant Border – native perennials, shrubs, and small trees.
* UNC Herbarium (earliest collections 1835) – 750,000 natural history specimens documenting the identity and distribution of plants in North Carolina and the Southeast.
* Several Display Gardens
The garden also contains a cabin in which playwright and professor Paul Green (1894–1981) performed most of his research and writing. It was moved to the garden in 1991.

## Exhibitions and Art Programs

In addition to caring for native plants, the Garden encourages art programs and exhibitions that promote its mission. This includes a variety of botanical art courses and opportunities for local artists to showcase their art that relates to the natural world. These opportunities include an annual Sculpture in the Garden exhibit and a Certificate in Botanical Art and Illustration program.
# North Deer Island (Texas)

North Deer Island is an island and wildlife sanctuary located in Hitchcock, Texas, in western Galveston Bay, about halfway between Galveston Island and Tiki Island in the U.S. state of Texas. The 144-acre (0.58 km$^2$) natural island is one of the few natural islands remaining in West Galveston Bay. It is an important waterbird nesting site on the Upper Texas Coast and studies have shown that up to 40,000 pairs of birds nest on the island each year.

## Restoration projects

In 2009, a consortium of public and private partners, including the Houston Audubon Society and the Harris & Eliza Kempner Fund, were awarded the Coastal America Partnership Award for recognition of their financial support in the creation of a breakwater to help slow erosion to the island. The partnership also helped fund restoration of wetlands that encompass the island. The award is only environmental honor of its kind given by the president of the United States.
# Pasco Palms Preserve

# Pine Gully Park, Seabrook, Texas

Pine Gully Park is a 52-acre (21 ha) park located in Seabrook, Texas in the United States, near Houston. It is located on the shore of Galveston Bay. The park belongs to the Seabrook Trail System and includes undeveloped and restored woodlands, salt marshes and several species of wildlife.

## The park

Though the park has some traditional recreational facilities it also features a great deal of largely undeveloped and restored woodlands and salt marshes which offer habitats for numerous animal species.
The park is part of the Seabrook Trail System, which connects most of the parks in the city. As part of this system the park is part of a larger collection of wildlife habitats in Seabrook which are all near the much larger Armand Bayou Nature Center. The park is also part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, which includes bird watching sites, sanctuaries, and trails along the entire Texas Gulf Coast.
Park wildlife includes American alligators, herons, king rails, white-tailed deer, nine-banded armadillos, and many other species. Apart from its natural scenery, the park features a preserved Karankawa camp site.
The park is the venue for the annual Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon.
There is a $10 entry fee (per vehicle) for non-Seabrook residents Monday-Thursday and a $20 entry fee (per vehicle) for non-Seabrook residents Friday-Sunday. Residents of the city of Seabrook receive free admission for themselves and all guests in their vehicle.
# Pocket wilderness

Pocket wilderness is a name used by Bowater corporation and the State of Tennessee for any of several tracts of Bowater-owned private land on and near the Cumberland Plateau that the company set aside beginning in 1970 "for preservation in its natural state, with no logging or development other than hiking trails permitted within its boundaries" and registered as Tennessee state natural areas. Several areas formerly managed as Bowater pocket wilderness are now incorporated into state-owned natural areas or National Park Service sites.
The Virgin Falls State Natural Area in White County was the first pocket wilderness established, originally consisting of 317 acres (1.28 km$^2$) along the Caney Fork and including Virgin Falls. This area was acquired by the state in 1996 and is now part of a 1,157-acre (4.68 km$^2$) state natural area.
Other Tennessee natural areas established as Bowater pocket wildernesses include:
* Bacon Ridge in Roane County
* Honey Creek State Natural Area in Scott County, 109 acres (0.44 km$^2$) within the boundaries of the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
* Laurel-Snow State Natural Area on Walden Ridge in Rhea County, consisting of 710 acres (2.9 km$^2$) and featuring two waterfalls, Laurel Falls and Snow Falls.
* North Chickamauga Creek, originally about 1,100 acres (4.5 km$^2$). The Bowater Pocket Wilderness Area was transferred to the state in 2006 and became a part of the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge State Natural Area, which consists of 7,073 acres (28.62 km$^2$) in Hamilton and Sequatchie counties.
* Piney Falls State Natural Area in Rhea County on the east side of the Sequatchie Valley, a 187-acre (0.76 km$^2$) area including two waterfalls
* Stinging Fork Falls State Natural Area in Rhea County, consisting of 104 acres (0.42 km$^2$) and including the 30 ft (9.1 m) Stinging Fork Falls.
# R. A. Stranahan Arboretum

The R. A. Stranahan Arboretum 47 acres (190,000 m$^2$) is located at 4131 Tantara Drive, Toledo, Ohio, about a 10-minute drive from the main campus of the University of Toledo. It contains 1,500 specimens of cultivated, mature trees from China, Serbia, Japan, and Norway, as well as North American varieties ranging from Bristlecone Pine to Buckeye.
The Arboretum site includes cultivated ornamental trees, rolling lawns, natural woods, ponds, wetlands and a restored prairie, all located within the "Oak Openings" sand dune region. About one-quarter of the Arboretum is covered by forest. The older forest has not been cleared for over 150 years and has oaks as the dominant tree. Peaks of old sand dunes are visible beneath its undergrowth. The newer forest is 50 years old, with has red maple as the dominant tree.
The Arboretum was donated to the University of Toledo in 1964 by the W. W. Knight family, in memory of Robert Stranahan.
# Rockingham County Botanical Garden

The Rockingham County Botanical Garden was a botanical garden in Brentwood, New Hampshire, United States.
The garden began in 1996 as an idea of the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners in Rockingham County. In subsequent years, the group obtained 10 acres (4.0 ha) of county land, formed a nonprofit organization, and developed the garden.
This land has been returned to Rockingham County. Currently the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteers bring education about gardening, plants, soil, insects and more to the people of New Hampshire through community projects, public presentations and the Ask UNH Extension InfoLine.
# Royalston Falls

Royalston Falls is a 50 foot (15 m) waterfall and granite gorge located in Royalston, Massachusetts along Falls Brook, a tributary of the Tully River which in turn is a tributary of the Millers River. The falls are part of a 217-acre (88 ha) open space preserve acquired in 1951 by the land conservation non-profit organization The Trustees of Reservations. The 22-mile (35 km) Tully Trail and the 235-mile (378 km) New England National Scenic Trail pass through the property.

## History

Royalston Falls was once called Forbes Falls for Calvin Forbes, a local property owner in the 1800s. The falls were previously the site of a town recreation area which included a playground; it was also the location of a casino. The preserve was a gift of Mr. and Mrs. George L. Foote in 1951 and 1954; additional land was added in 2002.

## Recreation and conservation

The preserve is open to fishing, walking, picnicking, mountain biking, horseback riding, hunting (in season), cross country skiing, and hiking. A trailhead is located off Massachusetts Route 32 just short of the New Hampshire border. A second trailhead is located off the unmaintained Falls Road in Royalston.
Royalston Falls are part of a larger contiguous area of protected open space, connected by the Tully Trail and including the United States Army Corps of Engineers' Tully Lake flood control project, The Trustees of Reservations' Jacobs Hill and Doane's Falls properties, and Massachusetts state forest land. Tully Lake Campground, a 35-site walk-in and tent only facility jointly managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and the Trustees of Reservations, is located along the Tully Trail to the south.

# Sheldrick Forest Preserve

42°49′31″N 71°47′45″W﻿ / ﻿42.82528°N 71.79583°W﻿ / 42.82528; -71.79583
The Sheldrick Forest Preserve is a forest located in West Wilton, New Hampshire and owned by The Nature Conservancy. The 227-acre (0.92 km$^2$) property is host to a large diversity of old growth trees and a number of plants. The preserve's three miles of trails are available to the public.

## History

The Sheldrick forest was owned by the Sheldrick family since 1897. For more than 150 years, the forest was kept largely undisturbed by logging or agriculture. However, in December 1994, the property was sold to a developer who sought to exploit the land for both timber and gravel deposits.
The forester hired to evaluate the land's economic worth, Swift Corwin, recognized the value of the land and contacted The Nature Conservancy in 1995. The original owner agreed to sell the property for several hundred thousand dollars, which was paid in April 1996 through several donations and fundraising events.

### Natural history

The Sheldrick Forest Preserve was affected heavily by glacial drift activity approximately 18,000 years ago. Signs of the glacial activity are still visible today. The stone walls and stone bridges in some areas of the forest are indicators of more recent activity, likely being built in the early 19th century.
The land has a diverse selection of tree species, and contains more than six natural communities, including the rich mesic forest, hemlock-pine ravine forest, black beech forest, red birch forest, oak forest, and a stand of butternut trees. In addition to the trees, there is an abundance of mountain laurel, several streams, and interior forest breeding birds.

# St. Johns River Water Management District

The St. Johns River Water Management District ("SJRWMD") is one of five Florida water management districts that is responsible for managing groundwater and surface water resources in Florida. SJRWMD covers an 18-county region in northeast and east-central Florida.
It employs approximately 600 people at offices in Palatka, Jacksonville, Maitland, and Palm Bay. The district's headquarters is located in Palatka.
The budget for 2013-14 is $135.5 million.

## History

SJRWMD is one of five water management districts that were established in 1972 by Chapter 373, Florida Statutes, as independent special districts, and were empowered by the electorate in 1976 to assess ad valorem taxes to fund the management of the state's water and related land resources, to benefit people and the environment. Each water management district is administered by a Governing Board composed of residents appointed by the Governor and approved by the Florida Senate. All districts report directly to the governor.
In 2013, the District lost a case before the U.S. Supreme court in Koontz v. St. Johns River Water Management District.

## Area of Jurisdiction

The counties which are entirely within SJRWMD are: Brevard, Clay, Duval, Flagler, Indian River, Lake, Marion, Nassau, St. Johns, Seminole, Putnam, and Volusia. Partial counties include: Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Okeechobee, Orange, and Osceola. SJRWMD covers 12,283 square miles (31,813 km²), or 23 percent of Florida. As of 2012, 4.73 million people (about 21 percent of the state's population) made their home in SJRWMD.
The major river within SJRWMD is the St. Johns River. The two major tributaries are the Econlockhatchee River and the Ocklawaha River. Other major waterways are the St. Marys River, which serves as the boundary between Florida and Georgia; and the Nassau, Ocklawaha, Matanzas, Halifax, and Indian rivers. SJRWMD contains 96 springs and more than 1,400 lakes.
# Streissguth Gardens

The Streissguth Gardens are a family-maintained hillside garden covering approximately one acre on the northwest side of Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington.

## Early history

The Streissguth Gardens have grown incrementally over the years, beginning with Daniel Streissguth’s purchase of the north lot by the Blaine steps in 1962. In 1965, Ann Roth Pytkowicz moved into the adjacent house at 1806 Broadway East and began cultivating a garden there. The two gardens were joined when Daniel and Ann married in 1968, and the combined gardens form the basis for the larger family garden that exists today.

## Expansion

In 1972, two years after Ben was born, the family purchased the hillside lots south of the Blaine steps. The first path was cleared in order to admire a native trillium discovered blooming among the weeds in the middle of the hillside. Further paths were developed to allow better access for planting and maintenance as more of the hillside was cultivated, and Ben and his friends, as well as other neighbors, began enjoying the growing network of trails. The oldest trail was named the Woodland Path, followed by the High Path, the Rock Wall Path, and the Raccoon Pool Path. Over time, the tree canopy has been thinned to allow for better views of Lake Union from the various paths and higher points in the garden.

## Special sections

From north to south, the gardens are divided into four main sections, beginning with the perennial/shrub section that borders the public steps and walkway on East Blaine Street. Second is the central section, extending from the hillside trails to the east to the edge of Broadway East, to the west. This main section includes perennials and fruit-bearing shrub plantings, as well as berries and vegetable beds. Third, the Rust Garden, which has the best soil and sunlight, has been cultivated for perennials. Finally, the transition zone between the developed gardens and the St. Mark's Greenbelt is experiencing a blurring of boundaries to facilitate better public access and enjoyment of the gardens.

## The public gardens

The garden was first threatened with encroaching construction in the late 1970s, when the wooded lots at the south end of Broadway East were proved viable for a condo development project. The neighborhood rallied together and succeeded in protecting the lots. When in 1989 the city of Seattle passed a bond to purchase and preserve undeveloped green space, the neighborhood nominated the garden’s south lots for purchase. After negotiations with the city, this was finally achieved in 1996 and the south lots of the Streissguth Gardens became public land, and part of the St. Mark's Greenbelt.

## Programs

In 2006, the Streissguth family began a volunteer program for the garden. In 2008, dedicated volunteer workers contributed a total of 157 hours toward beautification and maintenance.
