Why is Redbud only open weekends? The primary management focus at Redbud Valley is to preserve and protect the unique plant and animal life that is found here. We are able to use the area for environmental education and public enjoyment, but need to limit these activities to coincide with our main focus of protection. We all love Redbud Valley, but we can't let it be loved to death!
