Al Sabo Preserve

Al Sabo Preserve is a nature reserve in Kalamazoo County spanning over 700 acres. The landscape contains wetlands, forests, streams, and rolling hills that create diverse ecosystems across the property.

The preserve was established in 1971 as a protected natural area. It was named in honor of Albert Sabo, who worked as the utilities director for the city until 1969.

The preserve is named after Albert Sabo, a longtime utilities director for the city. Today, visitors use the trails to experience different natural habitats and observe wildlife in their undisturbed environment.

Access to the preserve is available through a parking area on Texas Drive near 10th Avenue. From there, visitors can walk out onto the network of trails that explore different parts of the property.

The preserve serves as a vital source for drinking water for the city of Kalamazoo. A management plan was created to protect this water supply while still allowing public access for recreation.
