About the event
Established in 2013 and expanded in 2015, Raven’s Nest covers nearly 5,000 acres and is located ~15 miles west of Heartland Ranch.
The preserve features rolling shortgrass prairie, seasonal creeks, and Dakota sandstone outcroppings. It is home to prairie dogs, coyotes, swift foxes, ferruginous hawks, and burrowing owls. Streams support plains leopard frogs, tiger salamanders, and a variety of water-dwelling species. The area also hosts lizards, toads, skinks, snakes, and the western ornate box turtle.
Named for the Chihuahuan ravens with nests on the property, it includes the Charlotte Adelman and Bernard L. Schwartz Nature Preserve.
