Howser's Branch

This property is part of the Gilbert's Regional Park, which features 156 acres of rolling countryside that visitors can hike throughout and learn about the history of the Civil War on the land. NVCT protected the section named "Hower's Branch" after the stream flowing through the property that branches off into different paths. The preserve is almost 50 acres of wetland, perfect for kids who like to splash around in streams. The Bull Run Mountains are visible from the preserve. Notable bird species on the property include the indigo bunting, yellow-billed cuckoo, and scarlet tanager. The park and NVCT preserve are open daily, and entry is free!
