NEW! Fairy Village at Critter Cove
Critter Cove has a magical new addition! Tucked beneath the forest canopy, Schiff Nature Preserve’s new Fairy Village features an array of handcrafted, nature-inspired fairy houses for visitors to discover along the trail.
Starting at the Nature Center kiosk and just off the White Trail, visitors can enjoy a short walk through Critter Cove to admire the whimsical village. This special project was made possible by a dedicated Schiff volunteer who generously donated her time, creativity, and materials to host a free Fairy House Building program at the preserve this past June, where children and their guardians decorated and personalized the fairy houses now on display.
The Fairy Village offers visitors of all ages moments of wonder and discovery. To help preserve the houses, they will be carefully removed each late fall, stored throughout the winter months, and reinstalled each spring for everyone to enjoy once again.
We hope you will take a walk through Critter Cove and experience the magic of our newest woodland addition!
