EDWIN WARNER PARK – BURCH RESERVE
In 2004, continuing the legacy of Luke Lea and brothers Percy and
Edwin Warner, Friends of Warner Parks embraced an opportunity to
acquire additional property to become park land. In partnership with
Metro Parks and thanks to the generosity of the Lucius E. Burch III
family and others, this extraordinary initiative significantly
contributed to the ultimate addition of nearly 500 scenic acres to
Edwin Warner Park. This land will provide protected natural habitats,
undisturbed vistas and recreation opportunities for generations to
come. The Burch Reserve is a unique and fragile natural area that has
special regulations in place to protect it for generations to come. For
this reason the Burch Reserve is open from Dawn to Dusk, and Dogs and
Trail Running are prohibited.
Bill Hird will be the hike leader (wdhiker@yahoo.com). Please contact
him if you plan on attending and where you will meet. For those in
the Columbia/Spring Hill area, you can make your own plans to carpool from Tollgate Medical Plaza (1106 Elliston Way, Thompson’s Station) to Warner Park Burch Reserve.
