It was named for FWC biologist Perry W. Oldenburg.[1] The 380 acre preserve in the Brooksville Ridge was part of an Audubon Society wildlife sanctuary.[2]
The area includes a 1.5-mile trail. Habitats include sandhill and hardwood hammock. A powerline right-of-way transits the area. Wildlife include gopher tortoise, American Kestrel, Eastern Bluebird, hawks, woodpeckers, and butterflies.[3]
