Keim Forest: 100 Acres Preserved!
Calvert Nature Society's purchase of the property on Sixes Road effectively doubles the protected area around Battle Creek Cypress Swamp, one of the northernmost stands of bald cypress trees in the country. The property features an historic tobacco barn built from locally harvested and milled cypress logs. The barn dates from the mid to late 19th century and documents local and national construction techniques of that era. You can learn more here.
