Old Growth Forest
Old growth forests are home to the oldest, tallest and most diverse collections of living things on earth. Among its many other opportunities to connect with nature, Mountain Air includes an Old Growth Forest Preserve with over eight miles of hiking trails.
In the near future, we plan to begin construction of the Old Growth Forest Preserve Interpretive Center. Situated just above the new neighborhood of Timber Sky, the Center will feature a nature center with interactive, hands-on exhibits as well as a forestry museum. The hub of the Old Growth Forest Preserve’s hiking trails, it will also feature a wildflower loop and offer opportunities for wildlife viewing from the deck.
