Gateway Nature Preserve
The Gateway Nature Preserve is a special place in Winston-Salem that brings people and nature together. Our mission is to protect 19 acres of urban wildlife habitat along Salem Creek that connects people with nature and supports a healthy ecosystem. With three main habitats – meadow, forest and creek – the Preserve has many areas to explore. Special features include a pollinator garden and the Forest Discovery Trail. In partnership with schools, local citizen groups and environmentalists, Gateway Nature Preserve is bringing a new awareness of the environment to Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.
Address: 1490 S. Broad St., Winston-Salem, NC
