b'We preserve nature. Nature preserves us. Nature is a big part of the appeal of living at Westerwood. Some residents walk two to three times a day, always with one destination in mind: Friendship Woods. Home to an estimated 200+ species of birds, our nature preserve has prompted some residents to take up birdwatching as a hobby. As a certified nature refuge, Friendship Woods can never be cut down or developed. While walking is half the fun, there are plenty of places to sit, be present, and watch this vibrant, natural splendor unfold.We incorporate the natural world into the design of the Westerwood grounds. Nearly a mile of meandering walking paths lead you past beautiful landscaping, mature trees, and personal gardens that residents call their own. Westerwood is home to Friendship Woods, a certified wildlife habitat.'
