Nature Along Sterlingshire's Walking Trail
One of the special features of living in Sterlingshire is the opportunity to observe nature close to home. Our private community walking trail passes through open space shaped by mature trees, creeks, the community pond, and surrounding upland areas that provide habitat for a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and other wildlife.
Residents using the trail may hear birds calling from the trees, notice movement along the creek corridor, see reptiles warming in sunny areas, or find tracks and other signs of animals that passed through earlier. The experience changes with the seasons and the time of day.
The animals and plants featured below were identified during professional biological surveys conducted within Sterlingshire. The species collage and printable checklist are provided to help residents recognize and appreciate the wildlife documented within our community.
Residents and their guests are asked to observe wildlife respectfully, remain on established paths, keep dogs leashed, maintain a safe distance from animals, and leave plants, nests, and habitat undisturbed.
