Bles Park, located in Ashburn, Virginia, is a 124 acre park that includes 94-acres of passive park land with walking, birding and hiking trails.
Trails run along fields, wetlands and a stream which offer a nice diversity of species. In the spring and summer you can hear Cricket frogs, Pickerel frogs, and Gray Tree Frogs calling. Bles is a great place to see a variety of migratory song birds as well as those summer warblers that nest here. Beautiful wildflowers bring in a great diversity of butterflies and dragonflies and damselflies hunt the stream edges and fields. Learn more about Bles Park by checking out our article from the Habitat Herald: Suburban Bles Park Offers a Welcome Retreat Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy conducts periodic bird walks and butterfly and dragonfly walks at Bles Park as well as general nature walks.
