Located in Morgan Township, Salamander Run MetroPark features a unique habitat that serves as a refuge for many important wildlife species.

Thanks to the United States Department of Energy, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Three Valley Conservation Trust for their collaboration on a multi-party conservation project at Salamander Run with MetroParks of Butler County.

Salamander Run Preserve, located in Morgan Township, is an excellent example of the superb conservation results that are possible through the cooperative efforts of concerned organizations and individuals. In 2011, Three Valley Conservation Trust was selected as a subcontractor by the Fernald Trustees to develop conservation easements on eligible lands in the Paddy’s Run drainage. Ohio EPA managed the project with collaboration from US Fish and Wildlife and the US Dept. of Energy. The Preserve, which contains the headwaters of Paddy’s Run Creek, consists of 125 acres, 93 of which are forested.
