Named after a nature advocate and beloved
first-grade teacher in Baldwin County, known to
say "Use your hawk eyes; tell me what you see"
to students on "botanizing and recognizing"
expeditions, Selma Irwin Nature preserve offers
hiking or biking along several bridged creek
crossings, rolling hills, and a few steep climbs
through hardwoods, spring and fall flowers, and
beautiful streams. See native azaleas, Atamasco
and trout lilies, and Catesby's trillium, as well as
abundant wildlife in biodiverse ecosystems like
this tranquil pond.
Each of the trails listed in this guide is a unique
adventure that allows you to bask in the beauty of
Central Georgia's wild spaces.
