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, April 10, 2010


Walked up the hill at Guppy with a friend who was helping in the training of a search and rescue dog. He left paper towels with his scent at various intersections to allow Boomer, the dog in training, to find him when the dog arrived later. The escaped vinca is in full bloom and indicates an area of the property which at one time had a home. The hillside is is quite spectacular with the vinca carpet.
