The Franklin Parker Preserve will be closed on the morning of Wednesday, September 1 for management activities. It will reopen promptly at 12 noon. We recommend the nearby Brendan T. Byrne or Wharton State Forests for recreational opportunities similar to those normally available at FPP. The Batona Trail will remain open.
