Robin Hill Nature Preserve

Robin Hill Nature Preserve 45 acres of rare and interesting trees, gardens and plants. William A. Smith planted over 250 varieties of trees on the land he called
Robin Hill.

He and his wife Mary, son George and daughter Marion built the
manor house on the hill. Marion Smith lived there for most of her 90 years,
tending the gardens, watching the birds, and welcoming guests. Now the
next generation is developing Robin Hill as a place where people can come to
learn, enjoy the trees, conduct research, and appreciate nature.

Thanks to Russell Bentley( Lynne Bentley ) and friends, this is the huge improvement in the pond with the repaired dam. Very grateful to our neighbors!

If you drive around the north side of the house and you see this, don't panic! Brian Howell is repairing the wall.

Flowers in the greenhouse! Of course, that pot was supposed to be flowering thyme, but at least I didn't kill it. I have brown thumbs.

John Poler's work clearing the paths uncovered one of Granddad's favorites things: the Turtle Stone. The place is looking so much better thanks to John.

Coin tree! One of Granddad's favorites. The fruit looks like a coin in a purse. It's near the redwoods by the North Pond...
