In March 2005, Commissioner Jerry Eversole hosted a volunteer workday that marked the official opening of Little Cypress Creek Preserve. Personnel and volunteers from Legacy Land Trust, Texas Master Naturalists, and Precinct 4’s Parks Department cleared debris and planted trees as part of the opening day activities.
"We have great hopes of eventually developing this preserve into an educational and recreational community asset to be enjoyed by school children, scouting organizations, trail walkers, and nature lovers alike," stated Commissioner Eversole.
