Wesselman Woods debuts new bird sanctuary

September 16, 2022

Woodland Oasis — Wesselman Woods marked 50 years of preservation and conservation work by revealing the Bernhardt Family Bird Sanctuary, a curious tunnel of stacked logs that has become an instant hit with visitors.

Originally opened in May 2018, the Welborn Baptist Foundation Nature Playscape at Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve received a major facelift this summer with the addition of the Bernhardt Family Bird Sanctuary. Built by Wilde Horticulture and Adam Green Architect, the two additional acres are filled with interactive structures that are perfect for child’s play and bird habitats alike.

Come through the tree-stump archway into this National Natural Landmark’s world of wood, brush, and natural fun from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
