A 72-acre plot of wilderness reserve owned by the city of Fullerton for close to 40 years is set to be accessible by the public in fall this year.
The Robert E. Ward Nature Preserve is named after a former mayor who was on Fullerton’s City Council from 1972 to 1978. The preserve can be found on Euclid Avenue near Laguna Lake Park. Hikers and cyclists have been able to access a small part of the nature preserve since 2007.
The City’s original plan was to open the entire preserve once the development of adjacent plots was completed. Since then, the city has gained more funding, which allowed it to purchase the plots that would otherwise have been used for housing developments. The combined plots will eventually become a unified nature park once the trial layouts are complete.
The preserve could have been open as early as April were it not for delays. The trail construction was stopped in February so that the California Gnatcatcher, an endangered species of bird, could enjoy its nesting season in peace. Signage has been seen in West Coyote Hills advertising the trails. Graphic design can be used to create such Signs.
When the park is finally opened, visitors will be able to use new trail markers and take in information about the special species in the area thanks to educational signage.
