James City County has many wonderful parks and trails, but for those who love to get close to wildlife the hidden gem of these is the Greensprings Nature Trail.  This three-and-a-half-mile trail offers a landscape of wetlands that you can cross on wooden boardwalks, beaver ponds and forests. Amid this natural wonderland, you can easily hear the calls of birds and see turtles and deer.  Interpretative signs help you understand a bit about area’s flora and fauna and history. But there is so much more to see that most of us miss as we bike or stroll down the trail. 

 

Photographer and self-taught naturalist Paul Griswold, a New Town resident, walks the trail almost every day, often joined by his wife Lynn, as he immerses himself in the Greensprings environment, documenting what he sees and what he has learned about nature with his camera.

 

Please join us on Tuesday, September 16 at 12:00 at the NTRA Meeting Room where we can all virtually walk through Greensprings with Paul as he shares his amazing photographs and stories about life in the wetland and forest of our region.
