Coppess Nature Sanctuary

Coppess Nature Sanctuary is a 32-acre woodland donated by Frances Carpenter as a legacy to Darke County residents. The Sanctuary offers an example of an Oak-Hickory forest and a glimpse of some of the natural diversity of the Darke County region as it appeared 200 years ago. Five species of oaks dominate, with several white oaks over 40" in diameter. Shagbark and bitternut hickories are scattered throughout the area. Other trees of interest include American beech, American hornbeam, white ash, box elder and sugar maple. The Sanctuary features a 3/4-mile loop trail.
