McBride Timber Preserve


McBride Timber was donated to Madison County in 1985. In compliance with the wishes of the McBride family, the Conservation Board manages this 40 acre timber as a wildlife refuge. Although this area has not been developed for public access (no parking areas available at this time) the public is welcome to explore the park. The refuge is signed on the perimeters as a refuge area. Public hunting is NOT allowed.
