Overview

The Wildhorse Agricultural Buffer was created as a required buffer between the Wildhorse residential development and adjacent farmland, pursuant to Municipal Code Article 40A.01.050.  The 38-acre buffer provides critical wildlife habitat for burrowing owls, rabbits, and other wildlife.  It also offer recreational opportunities (hiking, wildlife viewing).  It includes two types of habitat (i.e., grassland and oak savannah habitat).  There is a gravel pedestrian trail that meanders through the entire length of the buffer, but this gravel trail is not accessible to people in wheelchairs.  The agricultural buffer is #1 on the map below.

The agricultural buffer is open seven days a week, from dawn to dusk. 

• Take a walk/hike/run
• View birds and wildlife
• Walk your dog on leash on gravel trail
