Linda S.Castro Nature Sanctuary

The butterfly's are present. There's already some spring growth..

A beautiful hidden gem to pause and enjoy the view. Loads of birds and butterflies around. There's a sitting area at the top, not far from the parking area, where you can see the pond amd various birds. You can also take the short walking trail, but don't forget the bug spray! If you want to feel like you're secluded and surrounded by nature without being far from civilization, this your place. No dogs allowed as a protective measure for the birds.

Beautiful area with lots of opportunities to enjoy nature and spot wildlife!

We stopped here late morning to look for migrant birds, but it was pretty empty. But this park is very well maintained with lots of beautiful flowering plants and trees, all freshly mulched. Lots of great signs to help id things, benches to sit on, bird feeders and active water drips. Very impressive!

Visited this sanctuary after a work trip in the area on May 5th, 2021. Quite a wonderful place. Lots of wild flowers and birds...all types! Very well placed educational story boards describing the various flora and fauna in its native habitat. Easy walking nature trails that lead to a pond. There are benches to sit on along the trail to take in the wonderful nature. The viewing structure affords a great view from above the pond and fields...it is alive with Hummingbirds!!! Sit still & very quiet, focus on the feeders and you might get a great pic. The Navy does conduct flight training on some small prop job planes that noisily buzz the preserve. The birds and animals don't seem to mind it and go about their business like it's nothing...you should too. Enjoy this place and keep it clean...Q
