Hello fellow nature lovers and Skaneateles Conservation Area users, this blog is for us. Hear something? Write about it. See something? Let us know. Let's share our knowledge and experiences using the properties. On the east side of town the Skaneateles Conservation Areas include the Federal Farm, the Guppy Farm,and the O'Loughlin property which have been connected by a series of trails. On the southwest side of town, the Mabel Reynolds property stands undeveloped at the present but hopefully trails will be developed in the future.

I hope that all users of this blog will help record nature sightings as the years progress which can enhance all visits to these properties.

Guppy Falls

Saturday, March 27, 2010


It was with dismay that we found a fire smoldering today at the waterfall lookout. Obviously, some attempt to put it out had occurred but not a very thorough one. We hiked back down to our cars, found some water bottles, filled them up at the stream and doused the fire. The only place for fires on the conservation lands is by the lean-to at the Federal Farm.
