“You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting.”
~ Peter Pan
As a winter sunset meets the horizon like dreaming meets waking, a stunning late December sundown sweeps across the sky over the rolling hills of Trexler Nature Preserve, Schnecksville, Pennsylvania.
I shot this from the observation area of Trexler Environmental Center, located in the Central Range of the preserve. This spot is at one of the preserve’s highest elevations and one of the areas that offer spectacular views at the 1,100 acre preserve.
Solar panels provide a significant portion of the energy needs of the building.
When the late General Harry Clay Trexler (1854-1933) established the preserve in the early 1900s, he did it to save the American bison, elk and white-tailed deer from extinction and assure the species’ survival.
A conservationist along the lines of Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir, General Trexler understood the importance of nature and preserving wildlife in its natural habitat.
A successful businessman who amassed a fortune in the timber and cement industries and founded the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company, General Trexler began purchasing small farms in the low hills of Lehigh County in 1906. By 1913, he had transported eight bison and 20 Virginia white-tailed deer to the preserve. The elk followed soon after.
When General Trexler died in 1933, he bequeathed the property to the residents of Lehigh County. Today, the Trexler Nature Preserve is open to the public for passive recreation and nature watching.
