Review:
Yankauer Nature Preserve is a beautiful 104-acre nature preserve in Berkeley County, located just north of the city of Shepherdstown a short drive from Martinsburg. The preserve, which is overseen by the Potomac Valley Audubon Society and the Nature Conservancy, protects historic farmland overlooking the banks of the gorgeous Potomac River waterfront. Lovely forested areas are home to more than 100 bird species and nearly 200 types of native flora, including beautiful spring wildflowers that bloom in meadow areas. 2.4 miles of hiking trails are offered throughout the property for visitor use, marked with interpretive signs detailing area flora, fauna, and landscape traits. A bird watching station is also open to the public, along with several pollinator gardens and a spacious outdoor pavilion.
