McDowell Nature Preserve

Nature and Charlotte city in North Carolina seem to go hand in hand. In fact, of late there has been a lot of development and up gradation in the environmental status of the city. As compared to what it used to be earlier, the city has improved a lot in terms of its air quality, greenery etc. As a result, the city administration has been lauded and has been praised a lot. One of the most interesting and wonderful achievements of the city administration has been the construction of the 'McDowell Nature Reserve'.

Nature reserves are basically meant for the in-situ conservation of endangered species, whether plants or animals. It is very important that we take good care of the environment. By environment, the direct care of the organisms present in nature is implied. If there is an imbalance between the number of species, the ecological balance of the environment of a place is bound to get disturbed, which can lead to chaos.
