Advantage of living next to a conservation area is that you are sure no one will be building there any time soon.You are lucky you can get there and enjoy the quietness and still be close to home.

It looks nice and green and lush, you cannot go wrong with a backdoor neighbour that consists of trees-lots of privacy.

We are very fortunate to live where we do, although I like my backyard in Florida a bit more!

@Juliaacv In the fall, perhaps. We went to Chicago instead. We're too busy with all the work we are doing on the house. Actually, we're meeting the decorators later today to look at floor plans, etc. I also have to babysit my son's female cat when he and his fiancé go on a snorkeling vacation in Mexico to look at whale sharks. No time for me!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous @DianneN . Only 3 acres of my 16 1/2 acre property is cleared so I do have a lot of forest. Trust me, I am very careful when traipsing around.

@hereandthere Fox, coyotes, wild hogs, poisonous spiders and snakes. Every one of those but the fox is of a serious danger.

Very nice to have that as an extension to your yard. There are always critters in the woods but most won't harm you.

I like the suburbs best but also have a place in the city where all the action is. When I want nature I go to Yosemite National Park and hike around. I do think you're lucky however. That's just me though (probably many others also) and for all we know, luck is in the eye of the beholder or in the mind's eye as they say.

Wow, it is so nice that this conservation trust property is just behind your backyard . I suppose in summer , even if it's hot it will not be actually really hot there because of those trees there . Though , i won;t dare walk through them alone . I am afraid of forests , because there might be snakes .

Yes you are lucky. Also on the land in front of our house no homes can be built, because there is the stream and there starts the woods.

That sounds ideal. I love water as you know. The house across the road from us is shaded by trees, but is far enough away not to bother us. Thank goodness!
