Annie Louise Wilkerson, MD Nature Preserve Park Rules

• Stay on the trails. Natural surface trails are marked with blazes.  Bicycles are not allowed on trails.
• Leave No Trace.  Please recycle and throw away trash in the appropriate receptacles.
• Respect and protect all plants and animals. No fishing in pond.

• Collection of any plants, animals, rocks, fungi, or artifacts in the park is prohibited.
