Favourite Nature Preserve: Michael says that it is very difficult to choose just one, as each preserve is so unique and special in its own way and he is still on a mission to visit all the preserves in the province. He would, however have to say that Beardsley Hill Nature Preserve is quite dear to his heart because it is closest to home.
