Green’s Bluff Nature Preserve

Green's Bluff Nature Preserve is a picturesque and diverse nature preserve located in Owen County, Indiana. Spanning over 1,134 acres, the preserve features an upland forest, rocky bluffs, a lush floodplain forest along Raccoon Creek, and even a great blue heron rookery. Visitors can explore the preserve's two loop trails, which offer opportunities to observe unique plant and animal species, including the rare eastern hemlock trees found only on steep, north-facing slopes in Indiana.

The Nature Conservancy has played a vital role in protecting and enhancing Green's Bluff. They have added important acreage to the preserve, prevented imminent development, and actively planted over 68,000 trees to repair and connect fragmented forests. With ongoing efforts to consolidate protection of oak forests, Green's Bluff Nature Preserve serves as a valuable sanctuary for biodiversity and a beautiful destination for nature enthusiasts.
