Stay on Paved Trails - Stay AWAY from Mill Creek Maintenance Facility
The Mill Creek Community Association has asked us to please remind everyone to only use the paved walkways to access the Nature Preserve. There have been multiple instances of people trying to cut behind the Maintenance building and there is now a fence blocking access. Additionally, there is heavy machinery and equipment that could result in serious injury.
