About 33 acres are in forest and has been developed into hiking trails. A mile-long loop trail and several shorter trails are cleared and almost ready for use. We are completing the bridges that cross over the meandering stream.

The remaining 2 acres are located at the front of the property. A farm house and some gardens in need of restoration are in this area.

The park is the Allen & Adaline Garber Nature Center and will open for public use on April 19, 2008.

Some of the activities planned for Grand Opening Day (9am to 4pm) include:

• Tree Planting in the Bicentennial Forest - come out and plant a tree in honor of Preble County's Bicentennial (9am to 1pm). We hope you will come back to visit your tree often! Trees donated by Preble Soil and Water Cosnervation District.
• Opening Ceremony
• Guided hikes in the forest, or you may hike on your own
• Geo-caching in the forest - use your GPS unit to find a cache, take a treasure, and leave a treasure.
• Petting zoo

• Stream pollution demonstration by Preble Soil and Water Conservation District
• Stream water analysis and exhibits by the Twin Creek Watershed Coordinator
