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.

We drove up to the Reynolds Nature Preserve as Greg and Dave were leaving. They had just mapped out a new trail which loops through the eastern part of the property. You can follow the old tractor trail all the way to the east and then the newly scoped out trail turns to the north and loops around. A great walk and could be a great place to cross-country ski in the winter. Hopefully some volunteers will be cutting the trail in the near future.

As we walked in there were many apple trees we walked by. The one that caught our eye was the crab apple with the gorgeous eye popping red apples.

Just a reminder to all who use the conservation lands that bow season starts on Oct. 16th.
