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

Monday, July 19, 2010


Continuing on with ferns, I spotted these Maidenhair ferns along the cliff trial at Guppy Farm today. Another easy fern to identify due to its unique shape.

Also wanted to mention for all those people who like to hike, the meadows near the woods at the Camillus Unique Area off Thompson Road are awash with wildflowers. Hiked there yesterday and was amazed at the beauty of these fields. Saw many kinds of rudebekia, poppies, queen anne's lace, and coreopsis. Definitely worth a visit.
