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.

Yesterday, many people from WelchAllyn worked hard helping out the conservation areas by trimming, weed whacking, and replacing boards on a vandalized bridge. Their help was tremendous especially considering the downpour they worked through. The work crew was led by Bill Pavlus and Dick Marx who spend countless hours making the conservation areas an amazing resource for all, Our heart felt thanks go out to all the workers!

Some ferns look so much alike that identification has been hard for me. I believe this picture is a Hay scented fern. The clue to the identification were the little nest shaped sori on the underside of he frond.
