What is a Natural Area Park?

Natural areas are designated sections of land within the Parks system that, due to their location, size, topography, historical or cultural significance, or ecological condition, are managed with minimal intervention. Unlike developed parks with amenities like picnic tables, playgrounds, and ballfields, natural areas offer an accessible way to connect with nature within the city. These spaces provide opportunities for study, reflection, and a peaceful environment for local wildlife, including birds, amphibians, and reptiles, to thrive without disturbance. Natural areas serve as a living history of the land's landscape, geology, and culture. Natural areas support pollinators like bees and butterflies, along with wildflowers, native shrubs, and trees.

What Does Managing a Natural Area Mean?

Managing a natural area involves understanding its unique characteristics and working to preserve and enhance these features to provide the best possible experience for people and a high-quality habitat for wildlife. The goal is to nurture these areas, ensuring they remain balanced, sustainable ecosystems for generations to come.

What Are the Benefits of Our Natural Areas?

Our amazing natural areas parks provide a range of functions for city infrastructure, including improving water quality, naturally managing stormwater, reducing air pollution, reducing urban noise, enhancing community health, and increased property values. They also play an important role in the community's physical and mental well-being.

What You May See in Our Natural Areas?

Billings is fortunate to have diverse ecological and topographical landscapes within its natural areas, including grasslands, small streams and riparian zones, high desert prairies, ponderosa pine/sagebrush mountain forests, and lush cottonwood groves along the Yellowstone River. Here are some of my favorites: Cameron Park, Meadowlark, Phipps (pictured), Pow-Wow (pictured), and Rimpoint.

Go out and explore one of our many Natural Areas!

Sincerely,

Nature Nick
Parks Forester & Natural Resource Supervisor
