Redbud Valley Nature Preserve Closed
Redbud Valley Nature Preserve is currently closed to the public. The growing popularity of the preserve throughout the pandemic had increased foot traffic, as well as instances of vandalism, damaging the environment and the ecosystem. The Nature Conservancy gifted the Preserve to the City of Tulsa in 1990. It is managed as part of the Oxley Nature Center. A preserve prioritizes the protection of the land and ecosystem over public access and recreational use. As part of the agreement with The Nature Conservancy, the city is required to protect the land and the wildlife who inhabit the area.
